This paper discusses the impact of the hierarchical master-worker paradigm on performance of an application program, which solves an optimization problem by a parallel branch and ...
Service-based Grid infrastructures emphasize service composition rather than sharing of low level resources. The idea is to build Grid applications out of computational services p...
Abstract Utility Data Center (UDC) provides a exible, coste ective infrastructure to support the hosting of applications for Internet services. In order to enable the design of a \...
Key issues to address in autonomic job recovery for cluster computing are recognizing job failure; understanding the failure sufficiently to know if and how to restart the job; an...

We have created ZapC, a novel system for transparent coordinated checkpoint-restart of distributed network applications on commodity clusters. ZapC provides a thin virtualization ...
Applications such as parallel computing, online games, and content distribution networks need to run on a set of resources with particular network connection characteristics to ge...
Firewalls/NATs have brought significant connectivity problems along with their benefits, causing many applications to break or become inefficient. Due to its bi-directional commun...
Thread migration moves a single call-stack to another machine to improve either load balancing or locality. Current approaches for checkpointing and thread migration are either no...
