Widely deployed multimedia services are expected to accommodate clients in a highly heterogeneous environment. Clients of a multimedia service may vary greatly in processing and c...
The increasing performance gap between processors and memory will force future architectures to devote significant resources towards removing and hiding memory latency. The two ma...
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) increases processor throughput by multiplexing resources among several threads. Despite the commercial availability of SMT processors, several as...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
Abstract. Resource provisioning is one of the main challenges in resource sharing environments such as multi-cluster Grids. In these environments each cluster serves requests from ...
