—Clusters and applications continue to grow in size while their mean time between failure (MTBF) is getting smaller. Checkpoint/Restart is becoming increasingly important for lar...
As computational clusters increase in size, their mean-time-to-failure reduces. Typically checkpointing is used to minimize the loss of computation. Most checkpointing techniques, ...
Improvements in microprocessor and networking performance have made networks of workstations a very attractive platform for high-end parallel and distributed computing. However, t...
Abstract. We describe and evaluate the Running Time Advisor (RTA), a system that can predict the running time of a compute-bound task on a typical shared, unreserved commodity host...
— This paper focuses on the transfer of large data in SMP systems. Achieving good performance for intranode communication is critical for developing an efficient communication s...
