Next-generation e-Science applications will require the ability to transfer information at high data rates between distributed computing centers and data repositories. A LambdaGri...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Many network applications that need to distribute content and data to a large number of clients use a hybrid scheme in which one (or more) multicast channel is used in parallel to...
The widening gap between processor and memory performance is the main bottleneck for modern computer systems to achieve high processor utilization. In this paper, we propose a new...
