Today’s large-scale distributed systems consist of collections of nodes that have highly variable availability — a phenomenon sometimes called churn. This availability variati...
We describe the distributed high performance computing system we have developed to integrate together a heterogeneous set of high performance computers, high capacity storage syst...

In this paper we present an analytical model for estimating architecture-based software reliability, according to the reliability of each component, the operational profile, and t...
This paper explores the feasibility of a cost-efficient storage architecture that offers the reliability and access performance characteristics of a high-end system. This architec...
Multiprocessor systems present serious challenges in the design of real-time systems due to the wider variation of execution time of an instruction sequence compared to a uniproce...
