We describe the Paraflow system for connecting heterogeneous computing services together into a flexible and efficient data-mining metacomputer. There are three levels of parallel...
Abstract. Recent advances in software and hardware for clustered computing have allowed scientists and computing specialists to take advantage of commodity processors in solving ch...
Atomic Commitment Protocol (ACP) is an important part for any distributed transaction. ACPs have been proposed for homogeneous and heterogeneous distributed database management sys...
—In an attempt to increase the performance/cost ratio, large compute clusters are becoming heterogeneous at multiple levels: from asymmetric processors, to different system archi...
Effective integration of heterogeneous data sources has been studied as the most pressing challenge in various fields; such as, high energy physics, astronomy, and life sciences. ...
