This paper describes PARDIS, a system containing explicit support for interoperability of PARallel DIStributed applications. PARDIS is based on the Common Object Request Broker Ar...
Layering of protocols o ers several well-known advantages, but typically leads to performance ine ciencies. We present a model for layering, and point out where the performance pr...
This paper compares the throughput and latency of four protocols that provide total ordering. Two of these protocols are measured with and without message packing. We used a techn...
We describe a software infrastructure designed to support the development of applications that use high-speed networks to connect geographically distributed supercomputers, databa...
