Divisible load applications consist of a load, that is input data and associated computation, that can be divided arbitrarily into independent pieces. Such applications arise in m...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
Acyclic partitioning on combinational boolean networks has wide range of applications, from multiple FPGA chip partitioning to parallel circuit simulation. In this paper, we prese...
Legacy program execution system, which is necessary for Grid to enable users to reuse all legacy programs without reengineering source codes, is still an open problem. We propose ...
