Abstract—Parallel file systems are designed to mask the everincreasing gap between CPU and disk speeds via parallel I/O processing. While they have become an indispensable compo...
In this paper, a new I/O-aware load-balancing scheme is presented to improve overall performance of a distributed system with a general and practical workload including I/O activi...

Abstract—A probabilistic analytical framework for decentralized load balancing (LB) strategies for heterogeneous distributed-computing systems (DCSs) is presented with the overal...
This paper describes a novel compile-time list-based task scheduling algorithm for distributed-memory systems, called Fast Load Balancing (FLB). Compared to other typical list sch...
Computational Grids are large scale computing system composed of geographically distributed resources (computers, storage etc.) owned by self interested agents or organizations. T...
