Grids are facing the challenge of seamless integration of the grid power into everyday use. One critical component for this integration is responsiveness, the capacity to support o...
Since the advent of electronic computing, the processors’ clock speed has risen tremendously. Now that energy efficiency requirements have stopped that trend, the number of proc...
Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
We present an algorithm for implementing byte-range locks using MPI passive-target one-sided communication. This algorithm is useful in any scenario in which multiple processes of ...
—Since many embedded systems execute a predefined set of programs, tuning system components to application programs and data is the approach chosen by many design techniques to o...
