On the price of heterogeneity in parallel systems
Suppose we have a parallel or distributed system whose nodes have limited capacities, such as processing speed, bandwidth, memory, or disk space. How does the performance of the s...

The Case for Distributed Execution Replay Using a Virtual Machine
Debugging grid systems is complex, mainly because of the probe effect and non reproducible execution. The probe effect arises when an attempt to monitor a system changes the behav...
