This paper studies cluster load balancing policies and system support for fine-grain network services. Load balancing on a cluster of machines has been studied extensively in the...
Grids functionally combine globally distributed computers and information systems for creating a universal source of computing power and information. A key characteristic of grids ...
Abstract-- Shared temporary storage space is often the constraining resource for clusters that serve as execution nodes in wide-area distributed systems. At least one large nationa...
Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems provide a logically shared memory over physically distributed memory to enable parallel computation on Networks of Workstations (NOWs). In ...
The capacity of today's network links, along with the heterogeneity of their traffic, is rapidly growing, more than the workstation’s processing power. This makes the task ...
