Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
A computational grid is a wide-area computing environment for cross-domain resource sharing and service integration. Resource management and load balancing are key concerns when i...
This paper describes the study conducted to design and evaluate a two-level on-line scheduler to dynamically schedule a stream of sequential and multi-threaded batch jobs on large...

Load balance is a critical issue in distributed systems, such as server grids. In this paper, we propose a Balanced Load Queue (BLQ) model, which combines the queuing theory and hy...
Volunteer Computing is becoming a new paradigm not only for the Computational Grid, but also for institutions using production-level Data Grids because of the enormous storage pot...
