We present three distributed algorithms to build global inverted files for very large text collections. The distributed environment we use is a high bandwidth network of workstati...

Parallel workstations, each comprising 10-100 processors, promise cost-effective general-purpose multiprocessing. This paper explores the coupling of such small- to medium-scale s...
Despite a rapid decrease in the price of solid state memory devices, system memory is still a very precious resource in embedded systems. The use of shared libraries is known to b...
Virtual machine monitors, especially when used for server consolidation, need to enforce a predefined sharing of resources among the running virtual machines. We propose a new me...
In this paper, we quantify the adverse effect of file sharing on the performance of reliable distributed applications. We demonstrate that file sharing incurs significant overhead...
