This paper examines load sharing in a network of workstations (NOW). It proposes a special load sharing method referred to as epoch load sharing. With this policy, load is evenly ...
We consider networks of workstations which are not only timesharing, but also heterogeneous with a large variation in the computing power and memory capacities of different workst...
While You're Away (WYA) is a distributed system that aggregates the computational power of individual computer systems. WYA introduces the notion of Roaming Computations - Ja...
Most applications share the resources of networked workstations with other applications. Since system load can vary dramatically, allocation strategies that assume that resources ...
Adaptive load distribution is necessary for parallel applications to co-exist e ectively with other jobs in a network of shared, heterogeneous workstations. We present three metho...
