Abstract--End-to-end connectivity is growing increasingly diverse, with orders of magnitude differences in characteristics throughout the network. At the same time, most applicatio...
In this paper, we present a study on the fault tolerance nature of the island model when applied to Genetic Algorithms. Parallel and distributed models have been extensively appli...
This paper describes a framework for achieving node-level fault tolerance (NLFT) in distributed realtime systems. The objective of NLFT is to mask errors at the node level in orde...
The use of threads is becoming commonplace in both sequential and parallel programs. This paper describes our design and initial experience with non-trace based performance instru...
This paper is motivated by a case study performed at a company that manufactures two main types of customized products. In an effort to significantly increase their throughput cap...
