Desktop Grids have become very popular nowadays, with projects that include hundred of thousands computers. Desktop grid scheduling faces two challenges. First, the platform is vo...
Abstract. We describe and evaluate the Running Time Advisor (RTA), a system that can predict the running time of a compute-bound task on a typical shared, unreserved commodity host...
The successful execution of any contact task fundamentally requires the application of wrenches (forces and moments) consistent with the task. We develop an algorithm for computin...
