In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
Grid environments enable users to share non-dedicated resources that lack performance guarantees. This paper describes the design of application-centric middleware components to a...
This paper presents a comprehensive statistical analysis of workloads collected on data-intensive clusters and Grids. The analysis is conducted at different levels, including Virt...
Predicting grid performance is a complex task because heterogeneous resource nodes are involved in a distributed environment. Long execution workload on a grid is even harder to pr...
