Using off-the-shelf commodity workstations and PCs to build a cluster for parallel computing has become a common practice. A choice of a cost-effective cluster computing platform ...
Scheduling of processes onto processors of a parallel machine has always been an important and challenging area of research. The issue becomes even more crucial and di cult as we ...
This paper describes a novel technique for establishing a virtual file system that allows data to be transferred user-transparently and on-demand across computing and storage serve...

To fully exploit multicore processors, applications are expected to provide a large degree of thread-level parallelism. While adequate for low core counts and their typical worklo...
I argue against trying to solve the problem of clustering objects into disk pages. Instead, I propose that objects be fetched in groups that may be specific to an application or ...
