— Improving the performance of TCP communication is the key to the successful deployment of MPI programs in a Grid environment in which multiple clusters are connected through hi...
As the number of I/O-intensive MPI programs becomes increasingly large, many efforts have been made to improve I/O performance, on both software and architecture sides. On the sof...
In this paper we study the design issues in improving TCP performance over the ATM UBR service. ATM-UBR switches respond to congestion by dropping cells when their buffers become f...
Online aggregation is a promising solution to achieving fast early responses for interactive ad-hoc queries that compute aggregates on a large amount of data. Essential to the suc...
—The 64-bit OS provides ample memory address space that is beneficial for applications using a large amount of data. This paper proposes using a cluster as a memory resource for...
