A high-performance file system is normally a key point for large cluster installations, where hundreds or even thousands of nodes frequently need to manage large volumes of data. ...
Advances in fabrication techniques are now enabling new hybrid CPU/FPGA computing resources to be integrated onto a single chip. While these new hybrids promise significant perfor...
At present, with the expansion of information technologies at the industry, it is vital to implant proactive, self-managed systems that ensure continuous operation and, therefore,...
The Dryad and DryadLINQ systems offer a new programming model for large scale data-parallel computing. They generalize previous execution environments such as SQL and MapReduce in...
We consider an agent-target assignment problem in an unknown environment modeled as an undirected graph. Agents do not know this graph or the locations of the targets on it. Howeve...
