Abstract. We consider the use of a cluster system for Application Service Provider (ASP). In the ASP context, hosted applications and databases can be update-intensive and must rem...
To ameliorate the need to spend significant programmer time modifying parallel programs to achieve highperformance, while maintaining compact, comprehensible source codes, this pa...
This paper describes improvements to the Mach microkernel’s support for efficient application startup across multiple nodes in a cluster or massively parallel processor. Signifi...

Parallel independent disks can enhance the performance of external memory (EM) algorithms, but the programming task is often di cult. In this paper we develop randomized variants ...
We present the Dynamic Priority (DP) parallel task scheduler for Hadoop. It allows users to control their allocated capacity by adjusting their spending over time. This simple mech...
