High-performance computing clusters running longlived tasks currently cannot have kernel software updates applied to them without causing system downtime. These clusters miss oppo...
Abstract. The influences of OS and system-specific effects on application performance are increasingly important in high performance computing. In this regard, OS kernel measuremen...

In this paper, we address the problem of designing a scalable, accurate query processor for peerto-peer filesharing and similar distributed keyword search systems. Using a global...

Failure detectors are fundamental building blocks in distributed systems. Multi-node failure detectors, where the detector is tasked with monitoring N other nodes, play a critical...
The vector-clock size necessary to characterize causality in a distributed computation is bounded by the dimension of the partial order induced by that computation. In an arbitrar...
