Grid computing is a form of distributed computing that involves coordinating and sharing computing, application, data storage or network resources across dynamic and geographicall...
Through the recent emergence of joint resource and network virtualization, dynamic composition and provisioning of time-limited and isolated virtual infrastructures is now possible...
In this paper we consider the problem of maximising utility in linked market-driven distributed and Grid systems. In such systems, users submit jobs through brokers who can virtua...
FPGAs have been used in many applications to achieve orders-of-magnitude improvement in absolute performance and energy efficiency relative to conventional microprocessors. Despit...
The existence of good probabilistic models for the job arrival process and the delay components introduced at different stages of job processing in a Grid environment is important ...
