Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
Before an application modelled as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is executed on a heterogeneous system, a DAG mapping policy is often enacted. After mapping, the tasks (in the DAG...

This paper reports on an implementation of Bayer's Time Interval concurrency control method and compares it to the performance of a conventional timestamp method. The impleme...
The performance of many modern computer and communication systems is dictated by the latency of communication pipelines. At the same time, power/energy consumption is often another...
This work concentrates on the design of a system intended for study of advanced scheduling techniques for planning various types of jobs in a Grid environment. The solution is able...
