This paper discusses the impact of the hierarchical master-worker paradigm on performance of an application program, which solves an optimization problem by a parallel branch and ...
This paper presents a study of parallel genetic algorithms (GAs) with multiple populations (also called demes or islands). The study makes explicit the relation between the probab...
Data Grids provide transparent access to heterogeneous and autonomous data resources. The main contribution of this paper is the presentation of a data sharing system that (i) is ...
Efficient resource discovery based on dynamic attributes such as CPU utilization and available bandwidth is a crucial problem in the deployment of computing grids. Existing solut...
Stencil computations form the performance-critical core of many applications. Tiling and parallelization are two important optimizations to speed up stencil computations. Many til...
