While the MPP is still the most common architecture in supercomputer centers today, a simpler and cheaper machine configuration is growing increasingly common. This alternative s...
In this paper, we present a performance evaluation of a wide-area cluster system based on a rewallenabled Globus metacomputing toolkit. In order to establish communication links ...
We develop and examine job migration policies by considering effective usage of global memory in addition to CPU load sharing in distributed systems. When a node is identified fo...
Instead of the increase-by-onedecrease-to-halfstrategy used in TCP Reno for congestion window adjustment, we consider the general case such that the increase value and decrease ra...
This work considers the use of a n S M T (simultaneous multithreading) processor in lieu of the conventional processor(s) in a router and evaluates quantitatively the potential ga...
