Internet coordinate systems have emerged as an efficient method to estimate the latency between pairs of nodes without any communication between them. However, most coordinate sy...
Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) languages provide a unique programming model that can span shared-memory multiprocessor (SMP) architectures, distributed memory machines, o...
In distributed systems that use active replication to achieve robustness, it is important to efficiently enforce consistency among replicas. The nonblocking mode helps to speed u...
Evaluation of high performance parallel systems is a delicate issue, due to the difficulty of generating workloads that represent, with fidelity, those that will run on actual sys...
As distributed applications such as Grid and enterprise systems scale up and become increasingly complex, their authorization infrastructures—based predominantly on the request-...
