Fine-Grained Cycle Sharing (FGCS) systems aim at utilizing the large amount of idle computational resources available on the Internet. Such systems allow guest jobs to run on a ho...
— Many distributed systems may be limited in their performance by the number of transactions they are able to support per unit of time. In order to achieve fault tolerance and to...
