We present Grouped Distributed Queues (GDQ), the first proportional share scheduler for multiprocessor systems that scales well with a large number of processors and processes. G...
The link structure of the Web graph is used in algorithms such as Kleinberg’s HITS and Google’s PageRank to assign authoritative weights to Web pages and thus rank them. Both ...
In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
