This paper presents a performance analysis of marketbased batch schedulers for clusters of workstations. In contrast to previous work, we use user-centric performance metrics as t...
Virtualization using Xen-based virtual machine environment has yet to permeate the field of high performance computing (HPC). One major requirement for HPC is the availability of ...
We have observed that supercomputing clusters made up of commodity off-the-shelf computers possess emergent properties that are apparent when these systems are considered as an in...

In a cluster of multiple processors or cpu-cores, many processes may run on each compute node. Each process tends to issue contiguous I/O requests for snapshot, checkpointing or s...
