High-end computing is universally recognized to be a strategic tool for leadership in science and technology. A significant portion of high-end computing is conducted on clusters...
Deploying Grid technologies by distributing an application over several machines has been widely used for scientific simulations, which have large requirements for computational r...
SBASCO provides a new programming model for parallel and distributed numerical applications which exploits the combination of software components and skeletons. This paper present...
The development of a Distributed Information System (DIS) can lead to critical bottlenecks because of the underlying architecture, which is becoming more and more complex. Todays ...
We introduce a new performance metric, called Load Balancing Factor (LBF), to assist programmers with evaluating different tuning alternatives. The LBF metric differs from traditi...
