Distributed computations, dealing with large amounts of data, are scheduled in Grid clusters today using either a task-centric mechanism, or a worker-centric mechanism. Because of ...
Many efforts in Grid communities have focused on middleware research and development. However, Grid application-level tools are needed which can build higherlevel functionality on...
1 Most recent Grid middleware technologies have been aimed at the execution of sequential batch jobs. However, some users require interactive access when running jobs on Grid sites...
MPI middleware glues together the components necessary for execution. Almost all implementations have a communication component also called a message progression layer that progre...
In this paper, we study dynamic protocol update (DPU). Contrary to local code updates on-the-fly, DPU requires global coordination of local code replacements. We propose a novel ...
