In this paper, we describe the integration of dynamic right-sizing — an automatic and scalable buffer management technique for enhancing TCP performance — into GridFTP, a sub...
Despite many competitors, Ethernet became the dominant protocol for local area networking due to its simplicity, robustness, and efficiency in wide variety of conditions and tech...
We present a study of six batch-pipelined scientific workloads that are candidates for execution on computational grids. Whereas other studies focus on the behavior of single app...
