Abstract--Cloud computing infrastructures are providing resources on demand for tackling the needs of large-scale distributed applications. Determining the amount of resources to a...
Grid users may experience inconsistent performance due to specific characteristics of grids, such as fluctuating workloads, high failure rates, and high resource heterogeneity. Alt...
We develop a novel framework for supporting e-Science applications that require streaming of information between sites. Using a Synchronous Dataflow (SDF) model, our framework inco...
Current large distributed systems allow users to share and trade resources. In cloud computing, users purchase different types of resources from one or more resource providers usi...
In this research, we investigate and address the challenges of asymmetry in High-End Computing (HEC) systems comprising heterogeneous architectures with varying I/O and computation...
