Buffered coscheduling is a distributed scheduling methodology for time-sharing communicating processes in a distributed system, e.g., PC cluster. The principle mechanisms involved...
We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...
Frequency interleaving is introduced as a means of conceptualizing and co-scheduling hardware and software behaviors so that software models with conceptually unbounded state and ...
Knockout tournaments constitute a common format of sporting events, and also model a specific type of election scheme (namely, sequential pairwise elimination election). In such ...
The productivity of HPC system is determined not only by their performance, but also by their reliability. The conventional method to limit the impact of failures is checkpointing...
