We present Grouped Distributed Queues (GDQ), the first proportional share scheduler for multiprocessor systems that scales well with a large number of processors and processes. G...
A large organization, such as a university, commonly supplies computational power through multiple independently administered computational domains (e.g. clusters). Each computati...
A challenging issue in today's server systems is to transparently deal with failures and application-imposed requirements for continuous operation. In this paper we address t...
Middleboxes are ubiquitous in today’s networks and perform a variety of important functions, including IDS, VPN, firewalling, and WAN optimization. These functions differ vastl...
This paper presents new mechanisms for dynamic resource management in a cluster manager called Clusteron-Demand (COD). COD allocates servers from a common pool to multiple virtual...
