Programmers and users of compute intensive scientific applications often do not want to (or even cannot) code load balancing and fault tolerance into their programs. The PBEAM syst...
stractions underlying distributed computing. We attempted to keep our preaims at an abstract and general level. In this column, we make those claims more concrete. More precisely, ...
We consider a distributed information system that allows autonomous consumers to query autonomous providers. We focus on the problem of query allocation from a new point of view, ...
The Adaptive Parallelism Environment is introduced as a means of effectively utilizing MPP processing resources in a multi-programmed MIMD or distributed system. It achieves this...
Processing on the Amoeba distributed operating system is not fault-tolerant. The only concern of its processing service is to perform load balancing on the existing processors, tr...
