The management and access of distributed informational resources has emerged as an important requirement for scientific simulations using high-performance computing facilities. Bot...
We introduce a distributed and tractable mechanism for the allocation of continuously divisible resources to agents, that locally maximises the (Nash) product of their individual ...
Brewer and Kuszmaul [BK94] demonstrated how barriers and traffic interleaving can alleviate the problem of bulk-transfer performance degradation on the Thinking Machines CM-5, by ...
