This paper presents a hybrid scavenger grid as an underlying hardware architecture for search services within digital libraries. The hybrid scavenger grid consists of both dedicate...
Workstation clusters are becoming an interesting alternative to dedicated multiprocessors. In this environment, the probability of a failure, during an application's executio...
This paper examinestheimplicationsofgang schedulingfor generalpurpose multiprocessors. The workloads in these environments include both compute-bound parallel jobs, which often re...

The trend in workstation hardware is towards symmetric shared-memory multiprocessors (SMPs). User expectations are for (largely) automatic exploitation of parallelismon an SMP, si...
We present strategies for parallelising ray tracing based on 5D adaptive subdivision. Our goals are to obtain good speed-up and to efficiently balance the load between the process...
