A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different site...
Modern virtual machines, such as Java and Inferno, are emerging as network computing s. While these virtual machines provide higher-level abstractions and more sophisticated servi...
In this paper we propose and evaluate the Adaptive++ technique, a novel runtime-only data prefetching strategy for software-based distributed shared-memory systems (software DSMs)...

Global addressing of shared data simplifies parallel programming and complements message passing models commonly found in distributed memory machines. A number of programming sys...

We present a new Monte Carlo method for solving the light transport problem, inspired by the Metropolis sampling method in computational physics. To render an image, we generate a...
