URL, or layer-5, switches can be used to implement locally and globally distributed web sites. URL switches must be able to exploit knowledge of server load and content (e.g., of ...
Proxy caches have become a central mechanism for reducing the latency of web document retrieval. While caching alone reduces latency for previously requested documents, web docume...
This paper proposes efficient algorithms for implementing multicast in heterogeneous workstation/PC clusters. Multicast is an important operation in many scientific and industri...
Homotopy methods to solve polynomial systems are well suited for parallel computing because the solution paths defined by the homotopy can be tracked independently. For sparse po...
We report on a £rst parallel implementation of a recent algorithm to factor positive dimensional solution sets of polynomial systems. As the algorithm uses homotopy continuation,...
