Desktop grid (DG) systems use the idle computing power of many volunteered desktop PC’s on the Internet to support large-scale computation and storage. For over a decade, DG sys...
We consider the model of random trees introduced by Devroye [SIAM J Comput 28, 409– 432, 1998]. The model encompasses many important randomized algorithms and data structures. T...
Abstract. This paper outlines a feasible approach to ranking Grid resources based on an easily obtainable application-specific performance model utilizing low-level performance me...
Leasing computational resources for on-demand computing is now a viable option for providers of network services. Temporary spikes or lulls in demand for a service can be accommod...
This paper describes the issues confronted by the climateprediction.net project in creating a volunteer computing project using a large legacy climate model application. This appl...
