This paper presents a load balancing algorithm for a parallel implementation of an evolutionary strategy on heterogeneous clusters. Evolutionary strategies can efficiency solve a ...
In this paper we consider the problem of designing load balancing protocols in distributed systems where the participants (e.g. computers, users) are capable of manipulating the l...
We describe Spectra, a remote execution system for batterypowered clients used in pervasive computing. Spectra enables applications to combine the mobility of small devices with t...
Numerical examples of a Braess-like paradox in which adding capacity to a distributed computer system may degrade the performance of all users in the system have been reported. Un...
Distributing spatially located heterogeneous workloads is an important problem in parallel scientific computing. We investigate the problem of partitioning such workloads (repres...
