Many distributed applications can make use of large background transfers ? transfers of data that humans are not waiting for ? to improve availability, reliability, latency or con...
distributed shared-memory (SDSM) provides the abstraction necessary to run shared-memory applications on cost-effective parallel platforms such as clusters of workstations. Howeve...
In this work, we investigate the use of directional antennas and beam steering techniques to improve performance of 802.11 links in the context of communication between a moving v...
— MapReduce has become an effective approach to big data analytics in large cluster systems, where SQL-like queries play important roles to interface between users and systems. H...
Secure, fault-tolerant distributed systems are difficult to build, to validate, and to operate. Conservative design for such systems dictates that their security and fault toleran...
