Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...
High-end computing is universally recognized to be a strategic tool for leadership in science and technology. A significant portion of high-end computing is conducted on clusters...
In this paper, we present a performance evaluation of a wide-area cluster system based on a rewallenabled Globus metacomputing toolkit. In order to establish communication links ...
This paper describes PRISM, a distributed sharedmemory architecture that relies on a tightly integrated hardware and operating system design for scalable and reliable performance....
A well-known problem in P2P systems is freeriding, where users do not share content if there is no incentive to do so. In this paper, we distinguish lazy freeriders that are merel...
