The scheduler is a key component in determining the overall performance of a parallel computer, and as we show here, the schedulers in wide use today exhibit large unexplained gap...
As computational devices continue to advance, there are reasons to examine their foundations a little more deeply, and to ask whether there may not be something more to be found. ...
1 Electronic fair-exchange protocols have received significant attention from the research community in the recent past. In loose terms, the fair exchange problem is defined as at...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated distributed systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on another hand, is a shared collaborative environment constr...
In this paper, our contributions are two-fold: First, we enhance the Min-Min and Sufferage heuristics under three risk modes driven by security concerns. Second, we propose a new ...
The need to provide performance guarantee in high performance servers has long been neglected. Providing performance guarantee in current and future servers is difficult because ...
The performance skeleton of an application is a short running program whose execution time in any scenario reflects the estimated execution time of the application it represents....
Mobile Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) systems consist of mobile peers that collaborate with each other to complete application problems. Information sharing in such environments is a challen...
