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...
Background: New high throughput pyrosequencers such as the 454 Life Sciences GS 20 are capable of massively parallelizing DNA sequencing providing an unprecedented rate of output ...

Left unchecked, the fundamental drive to increase peak performance using tens of thousands of power hungry components will lead to intolerable operating costs and failure rates. H...
Scheduling for speculative parallelization is a problem that remained unsolved despite its importance. Simple methods such as Fixed-Size Chunking (FSC) need several ‘dry-runs’...
