Suppose we have a parallel or distributed system whose nodes have limited capacities, such as processing speed, bandwidth, memory, or disk space. How does the performance of the s...
Evaluating, analyzing and predicting the performance of a parallel system is challenging due to the complex inter-play between the application characteristics and architectural fe...
We consider a system with a dispatcher and several identical servers in parallel. Task processing times are known upon arrival. We first study the impact of the local scheduling ...
With the growing complexity in computer systems, it has been a real challenge to detect and diagnose problems in today’s large-scale distributed systems. Usually, the correlatio...
This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of BORG, a self-optimizing storage system that performs automatic block reorganization based on the observed I/O wor...
