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...
YapOr is an or-parallel system that extends the Yap Prolog system to exploit implicit or-parallelism in Prolog programs. It is based on the environment copying model, as first imp...
— Generalized selection multiuser diversity (GSMuD) is a new scheduling scheme which provides a near-optimal low-complexity solution to parallel access multiuser scheduling. In t...
In a cluster of multiple processors or cpu-cores, many processes may run on each compute node. Each process tends to issue contiguous I/O requests for snapshot, checkpointing or s...
During the past ve years scientists discovered that modern UNIX workstations connected with ethernet and ber networks could provide enough computational performance to compete wit...
