As computer networks rapidly increase in size and speed, Internet-distributed systems such as P2P, volunteer computing, and Grid systems are increasingly common. A precise and acc...
This paper describes our early experiences with a preproduction Cray XMT system that implements a scalable shared memory architecture with hardware support for multithreading. Unl...
Concurrency control is a core component in optimistic replication systems. To detect concurrent updates, the system associates each replicated object with metadata, such as, versi...
Abstract—While measures such as raw compute performance and system capacity continue to be important factors for evaluating cluster performance, such issues as system reliability...
