We consider cluster systems with multiple nodes where each server is prone to run tasks at a degraded level of service due to some software or hardware fault. The cluster serves t...
Given a vector of floating-point numbers with exact sum s, we present an algorithm for calculating a faithful rounding of s, i.e. the result is one of the immediate floating-point ...
