Clusters of SMPs are becoming increasingly common. However, the shared memory design of SMPs and the consequential contention between system processors for access to main memory c...
Abstract--Cluster tools are widely used as semiconductor manufacturing equipment. While throughput analysis and scheduling of single-cluster tools have been well-studied, research ...

– Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising technique for next-generation optical switching networks. In traditional OBS, an entire burst is discarded when all output waveleng...
In systems where customer service demands are only known probabilistically, there is very little to distinguish between jobs. Therefore, no universal optimum scheduling strategy o...
