The database tier of dynamic content servers at large Internet sites is typically hosted on centralized and expensive hardware. Recently, research prototypes have proposed using d...
We consider the problem of scheduling tasks with unpredictable service times on distinct processing nodes so as to meet a real-time deadline, given that all communication among no...
While resource management and task scheduling are identified challenges of Grid computing, current Grid scheduling systems mainly focus on CPU and network availability. Recent per...
This paper investigates resource allocation policies for achieving real-time content distribution with subsecond delay bounds on the current Internet. Resource allocation in real-...
An accurate, tractable, analytic cache model for time-shared systems is presented, which estimates the overall cache missrate of a multiprocessing system with any cache size and t...
