Workstation clusters are becoming an interesting alternative to dedicated multiprocessors. In this environment, the probability of a failure, during an application's executio...
An efficient and distributed scheme for file mapping or file lookup scheme is critical in decentralizing metadata management within a group of metadata servers. This paper present...
Recent research in multi-site parallel job scheduling leverages user-provided estimates of job communication characteristics to effectively partition the job across multiple clus...
Abstract. To solve problems that require far more memory than a single machine can supply, data can be swapped to disk in some manner, it can be compressed, and/or the memory of mu...
An important requirement for the effective scheduling of parallel applications on large heterogeneous clusters is a current view of system resource availability. Maintaining such ...
