Increasing hardware performance of desktop computers accounts for a low-cost computing potential that is waiting to be efficiently used. However, the complexity of installation a...
Energy consumption and heat dissipation have become key considerations for modern high performance computer systems. In this paper, we focus on non-clairvoyant speed scaling to mi...
Traditional High Performance Computing systems require extensive management and suffer from security and configuration problems. This paper presents a new clustermanagement syste...
Current database management system technology is unable to provide adequate support for Nomadic Computing. Mobile applications require systems which are sufficiently lightweight an...
We consider the use of a cluster of PC servers for Application Service Providers where applications and databases must remain autonomous. We use data replication to improve data av...
