Executing long-running parallel applications in Opportunistic Grid environments composed of heterogeneous, shared user workstations, is a daunting task. Machines may fail, become ...
Superscalar microprocessor efficiency is generally not as high as anticipated. In fact, sustained utilization below thirty percent of peak is not uncommon, even for fully optimized...
Parallel computing on volatile distributed resources requires schedulers that consider job and resource characteristics. We study unconventional computing environments containing ...

File I/O data is interpreted by high performance parallel/distributed applications mostly as a sequence of arbitrary bits. This leads to the situation where data is ’volatile’...
Quantitative prediction of quality properties (i.e. extrafunctional properties such as performance, reliability, and cost) of software architectures during design supports a syste...
