Clusters and distributed systems offer fault tolerance and high performance through load sharing. When all n computers are up and running, we would like the load to be evenly distr...
The recently released SPEC CPU2006 benchmark suite is expected to be used by computer designers and computer architecture researchers for pre-silicon early design analysis. Partia...
One of the novel benefits of virtualization is the ability to emulate many hosts with a single physical machine. This approach is often used to support at-scale testing for large...
