In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for compile-time scheduling and clustering of parallel programs onto parallel processing systems with distributed memory, which is ...
Existing data grid scheduling systems handle huge data I/O via replica location services coupled with simple staging, decoupled from scheduling of computing tasks. However, when th...
The paper introduces Self-Replicating Objects (SROs), a new nt programming abstraction. An SRO is implemented and used much like an ordinary .NET object and can expose arbitrary us...
This paper uses trace-driven simulations to evaluate two novel Web server scheduling policies called KSRPT and T-SRPT. K-SRPT is a multi-threaded version of SRPT (Shortest Remaini...
