We present a new technique, early phase termination, for eliminating idle processors in parallel computations that use barrier synchronization. This technique simply terminates ea...
Message passing via MPI is widely used in singleprogram, multiple-data (SPMD) parallel programs. Existing data-flow frameworks do not model the semantics of message-passing SPMD ...

— Although cooperation generally increases the amount of resources available to a community of nodes, thus improving individual and collective performance, it also allows for the...
The dynamics of peer participation, or churn, are an inherent property of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems and critical for design and evaluation. Accurately characterizing churn requir...
As mobile devices, such as laptops, PDAs or mobile phones, are getting more and more ubiquitous and are able to communicate with each other via wireless technologies, the paradigm...
