In this paper, we quantify the adverse effect of file sharing on the performance of reliable distributed applications. We demonstrate that file sharing incurs significant overhead...
The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
The number of processors embedded in high performance computing platforms is growing daily to solve larger and more complex problems. The logical network topologies must also suppo...
In this paper a sufficient condition is given for minimal routing in n-dimensional (n-D) meshes with faulty nodes contained in a set of disjoint fault regions. It is based on an ...
Abstract. As grids typically consist of autonomously managed subsystems with strongly varying resources, fault-tolerance forms an important aspect of the scheduling process of appl...
