Networks of Workstations (NOW) have become important and cost-effective parallel platforms for scientific computations. In practice, a NOW system is heterogeneous and non-dedicat...
The arrival process of jobs submitted to a parallel system is bursty, leading to fluctuations in the load at many time scales. In particular, rare events of extreme load may occu...
This paper characterizes the production workload that highly utilizes the NCSA Origin 2000. The characterization includes the distributions of job interarrival time, requested num...
