The mainstream adoption of cluster, grid, and most recently cloud computing models have broadened the applicability of parallel programming from scientific communities to
the bus...
: This is a position paper introducing blob computing: A Blob is a generic primitive used to structure a uniform computing substrate into an easier-to-program parallel virtual mach...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
Abstract. In the field of HPC, the current hardware trend is to design multiprocessor architectures that feature heterogeneous technologies such as specialized coprocessors (e.g., ...
The goal of this research is to develop performance profiles of parallel and distributed applications in order to predict their execution time under different network conditions....
