This paper studies a load scheduling strategy with nearoptimal processing time leveraging the computational characteristics of parallel DNA sequence alignment algorithms, specific...
In multicluster systems, and more generally, in grids, jobs may require co-allocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of resources such as processors and input files in multipl...
Switched Processing Systems (SPS) capture the essence of a fundamental resource allocation problem in many modern communication, computer and manufacturing systems involving hetero...
This paper studies distributed scheduling of parallel I/O data transfers on systems that provide data replication. In our previous work, we proposed a centralized algorithm for so...
Although Web prefetching is regarded as an effective method to improve client access performance, the associated overhead prevents it from being widely deployed. Specifically, a ...
