Typical MPI applications work in phases of computation and communication, and messages are exchanged in relatively small chunks. This behavior is not optimal for TCP because TCP i...
A large organization, such as a university, commonly supplies computational power through multiple independently administered computational domains (e.g. clusters). Each computati...
Jobs submitted into a cluster have varying requirements depending on user-specific needs and expectations. Therefore, in utility-driven cluster computing, cluster Resource Manage...
Interest in Grid computing has grown significantly over the past five years. Management of distributed cluster resources is a key issue in Grid computing. Central to management ...
In network protocol research a common goal is optimal bandwidth utilization, while still being network friendly. The drawback of TCP in networks with large bandwidth-delay product...
Cycle-harvesting systems such as Condor have been developed to make desktop machines in a local area (which are often similar to clusters in hardware configuration) available as ...
In the area of Grid computing, there is a growing need to process large amounts of data. To support this trend, we need to develop efficient parallel storage systems that can prov...
We present a feasibility study of a power-reduction scheme that reduces the thermal power of processors by lowering frequency and voltage in the context of high-performance comput...
