We consider a system with a dispatcher and several identical servers in parallel. Task processing times are known upon arrival. We first study the impact of the local scheduling ...
The reliability of a large-scale storage system is influenced by a complex set of inter-dependent factors. This paper presents a comprehensive and extensible analytical framework ...
Tiger is a scalable, fault-tolerant video file server constructed from a collection of computers connected by a switched network. All content files are striped across all of the c...

This work considers the problem of minimizing the power consumption for real-time scheduling on processors with discrete operating modes. We provide a model for determining the ex...
The progressive processing model allows a system to trade off resource consumption against the quality of the outcome by mapping each activity to a graph of potential solution met...
