Performance management of clusters and Grids poses many challenges. Sharing large distributed sets of resources can provide efficiencies, but it also introduces complexity in ter...
Traditional architectural designs are normally focused on CPUs and have been often decoupled from I/O considerations. They are inefficient for high-speed network processing with a...
This paper compares the throughput and latency of four protocols that provide total ordering. Two of these protocols are measured with and without message packing. We used a techn...
Traditional directory-based cache coherence protocols suffer from long-latency cache misses as a consequence of the indirection introduced by the home node, which must be accessed...
Multi-agent based simulation (MABS) is a discrete event simulation technique used to study complex systems with entities having social and autonomous behavior. MABS applications a...
