Workflow applications executed in Grid environments are not able to take advantage of all the potential parallelism they might have. This limitation in the usage of parallelism com...
This paper presents a new distributed computing framework for Many Task Computing (MTC) applications, based on the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). A lightweight...

One of the key requirement for Grid infrastructures is the ability to share resources with nontrivial qualities of service. However, resource management in a decentralized infrast...
In this paper we have characterized the inter-arrival time and service time distributions for jobs at a large MPP supercomputing center. Our findings show that the distributions ...
Search engines use inverted files as index data structures to speed up the solution of user queries. The index is distributed on a set of processors forming a cluster of computer...
