For a grid middleware to perform resource allocation, prediction models are needed, which can determine how long an application will take for completion on a particular platform o...
As parallel jobs get bigger in size and finer in granularity, “system noise” is increasingly becoming a problem. In fact, fine-grained jobs on clusters with thousands of SMP...

A trace of a workload’s system calls can be obtained with minimal interference, and can be used to drive repeatable experiments to evaluate system configuration alternatives. R...
Predicting how well applications may run on modern systems is becoming increasingly challenging. It is no longer sufficient to look at number of floating point operations and commu...
