Abstract--The H.264 standard achieves much higher coding efficiency than the MPEG-2 standard, due to its improved inter-and intra-prediction modes at the expense of higher computat...
Abstract. We study the problem of dynamic load-balancing on hierarchical platforms. In particular, we consider applications involving heavy communications on a distributed platform...
Grid computing systems that have been the focus of much research activities in recent years provide a virtual framework for controlled sharing of resources across institutional bo...
Abstract. This paper introduces ThreadMill - a distributed and parallel component architecture for applications that process large volumes of streamed (time-sequenced) data, such a...
With the advent of Grid computing, more and more highend computational resources become available for use to a scientist. While this opens up new avenues for scientific research,...
