Consider a multithreaded parallel application running inside a multicore virtual machine context that is itself hosted on a multi-socket multicore physical machine. How should the...
Internet coordinate schemes have been proposed as a method for estimating minimum round trip time between hosts without direct measurement. In such a scheme, each host is assigned...
A large organization, such as a university, commonly supplies computational power through multiple independently administered computational domains (e.g. clusters). Each computati...
Idle workstations in a network represent a significant computing potential. In particular, their processing power can be used by parallel-distributed programs that treat the netwo...
