We develop and examine job migration policies by considering effective usage of global memory in addition to CPU load sharing in distributed systems. When a node is identified fo...
In a cluster of multiple processors or cpu-cores, many processes may run on each compute node. Each process tends to issue contiguous I/O requests for snapshot, checkpointing or s...
We have built an eight node SMP cluster called COMPaS (Cluster Of Multi-Processor Systems), each node of which is a quadprocessor Pentium Pro PC. We have designed and implemented a...
