As part of a NASA HPCC Grand Challenge project, we are designing and implementing a parallel atmospheric chemical tracer model that will be suitable for use in global simulations....
Load balancing is often used to ensure that nodes in a distributed systems are equally loaded. In this paper, we show that for real-time systems, load balancing is not desirable. ...
Distributed and parallel computing environments are becoming cheap and commonplace. The availability of large numbers of CPU's makes it possible to process more data at highe...
Declustering and replication are well known techniques used to improve response time of queries in parallel disk environments. As data replication incurs a penalty for updates, da...
