The complexity of parallel I/O systems lies in the deep I/O stack with many software layers and concurrent I/O request handling at multiple layers. This paper explores multi-layer...
Clusters of workstations have become a cost-effective means of performing scientific computations. However, large network latencies, resource sharing, and heterogeneity found in ...
Support of end-to-end Quality-of-Service (QoS) and ate high-level programming abstractions are two crucial factors for the development of future telecommunication services and dis...
As shared-memory multiprocessors become the dominant commodity source of computation, parallelizing compilers must support mainstream computations that manipulate irregular, point...
