The paper presents Heterogeneous MPI (HMPI), an extension of MPI for programming high-performance computations on heterogeneous networks of computers. It allows the application pr...
Performance simulation tools must be validated during the design process as functional models and early hardware are developed, so that designers can be sure of the performance of...
The change of focus from code to models promoted by OMG's Model Driven Development raises the need for verification of nonfunctional characteristics of UML models, such as pe...
Advances in Internet and the availability of powerful computers and high-speed networks have propitiated the rise of Grids. The scheduling of applications is complex in Grids due ...
Methods for automatically managing the performance of computing services must estimate a performance model of that service. This paper explores properties that are necessary for p...
