High-end parallel systems present a tremendous research challenge on how to best allocate their resources to match dynamic workload characteristics and user habits that are often ...
Modern server farm and cluster sites consume large quantities of energy both to power and cool the machines in the site. At the same time, less power supply redundancy is offered ...

Sigma, the first single-round group membership (GM) algorithm, was recently introduced and demonstrated to operate consistently with theoretical expectations in a simulated WAN en...
This paper addresses the problem of fine-grained data replication in large distributed systems, such as the Internet, so as to minimize the user access delays. With fine-grained d...
One of the attractive features of Grid computing is that resources in geographically distant places can be mobilized to meet computational needs as they arise. A particularly chal...
Clusters and distributed systems offer fault tolerance and high performance through load sharing. When all computers are up and running, we would like the load to be evenly distri...
Interactive communication services as telephony and video-conferences use the infrastructure of existing LANs and the Internet more and more. The advantages are obvious. For examp...
As semiconductor feature sizes decrease, interconnect delay is becoming a dominant component of processor cycle times. This creates a critical need to shift microarchitectural des...
