Fairness is an essential requirement of any operating system scheduler. Unfortunately, existing fair scheduling algorithms are either inaccurate or inefficient and non-scalable fo...
In this paper, we introduce the new technique of HighConfidence Software Monitoring (HCSM), which allows one to perform software monitoring with bounded overhead and concomitantl...

Irregular and iterative I/O-intensive jobs need a different approach from parallel job schedulers. The focus in this case is not only the processing requirements anymore: memory, ...
External sorting--the process of sorting a file that is too large to fit into the computer's internal memory and must be stored externally on disks--is a fundamental subroutin...
