Abstract--This paper proposes an analytical model to estimate the cost of running an affinity-based thread schedule on multicore systems. The model consists of three submodels to e...
We describe a system for aggregating heterogeneous resources from distinct administrative domains into an enterprise-wide compute grid, such that the aggregated resource provides ...
Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMPs), combined with modern interconnection technologies are commonly used to build cost-effective compute clusters. However, contention among processor...
This paper focuses on the scheduling of multiple-wavelength lightpaths and outlines an algorithm to provide increased simultaneous allocations of lightpaths on the Lambda-Grid. Se...
Clusters of SMPs are becoming increasingly common. However, the shared memory design of SMPs and the consequential contention between system processors for access to main memory c...
