Computational Grids are becoming an increasingly important and powerful platform for the execution of largescale, resource-intensive applications. However, it remains a challenge ...
Grid applications that use a considerable number of processors for their computations need effective predictions of the expected computation times on the different nodes. Currentl...
Despite recent developments in higher-level middleware for the Grid supporting high level of ease-of-programming, hurdles for widespread adoption of Grids remain high, due to (1) ...
Users and developers of grid applications have access to increasing numbers of resources. While more resources generally mean higher capabilities for an application, they also rai...
Developing and debugging parallel programs particularly for distributed memory architectures is still a difficult task. The most popular approach to developing parallel programs f...
