If the model of free-form queries, which has proved successful for HTML based search on the Web, is made available for Grid services, it will serve as a powerful tool for scientis...
This paper investigates the scheduling of mixed-parallel applications, which exhibit both task and data parallelism, in advance reservations settings. Both the problem of minimizi...
Today Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are a largely underexploited resource on existing desktops and a possible costeffective enhancement to high-performance systems. To date, mo...

The emergence of heterogeneous many core architectures presents a unique opportunity for delivering order of magnitude performance increases to high performance applications by ma...
Today, several data-storage systems allow applications to create and manage custom metadata to improve data search and navigability in large-scale storage systems. Our thesis is t...
Active storage clouds are an attractive platform for executing large data intensive workloads found in many fields of science. However, active storage presents new system managem...
In this paper we address the problem of managing heterogeneous workloads in a virtualized data center. We consider two different workloads: transactional applications and long-ru...
