Modeling the performance behavior of parallel applications to predict the execution times of the applications for larger problem sizes and number of processors has been an active ...
Consistency is an important issue in Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems. These systems share a set of objects or virtual memory pages. The data sharing enables the applicatio...
We introduce a technique that can be used to model the behaviour of protocols. In our model each process within a protocol belongs to a particular class. A set of rules governs th...
Using off-the-shelf commodity workstations to build a cluster for parallel computing has become a common practice. In studying or designing a cluster of workstations one should ha...
System reliability has become an increasingly important benchmark in measuring service continuity. As part of many service level agreements, system performance is gauged by how lo...
