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—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...
Real production applications ranging from enterprise applications to large e-commerce sites share a crucial but seldom-noted characteristic: The relative frequencies of transactio...
Optimizing the performance of dynamic load balancing toolkits and applications requires the adjustment of several runtime parameters; however, determining sufficiently good value...
—Various studies have pointed out the debilitating effects of OS Jitter on the performance of parallel applications on large clusters such as the ASCI Purple and the Mare Nostrum...
