We present an in-kernel disk prefetcher which uses speculative execution to determine what data an application is likely to require in the near future. By placing our design withi...
Abstract. The development of network-aware applications, i.e. applications that dynamically adapt to network conditions, has had some success in the domain of multimedia applicatio...
In this paper, we present a checkpoint-based scheme to improve the turnaround time of bag-of-tasks applications executed on institutional desktop grids. We propose to share checkp...
Abstract. Geoscience analysis is currently limited by cumbersome access and manipulation of large datasets from remote sources. Due to their data-heavy and compute-light nature, th...

We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
