Initial versions of MPI were designed to work efficiently on multi-processors which had very little job control and thus static process models. Subsequently forcing them to suppor...
Many distributed systems manage some form of long-lived data, such as files or data bases. The performance and fault-tolerance of such systems may be enhanced if the repositories ...
In this paper, we consider a distributed system that consists of a group of teams of worker robots that rely on physical robot messengers for the communication between the teams. ...
Commodity computer clusters are often composed of hundreds of computing nodes. These generally off-the-shelf systems are not designed for high reliability. Node failures therefore...
This paper describes a highly available distributedvideo on demand (VoD) service which is inherently fault tolerant. The VoD service is provided by multiple servers that reside at...
