A key obstacle to large-scale network simulation over PC clusters is the memory balancing problem where a memory-overloaded machine can slow down an entire simulation due to disk ...
—We recently proposed the Rate Control Protocol (RCP) as a way to minimize download times (or flow-completion times). Simulations suggest that if RCP were widely deployed, downl...
—The computational Grid concept is gaining great popularity as the best way to deliver access to a wide range of distributed computing and data resources. But, as Grids move from...
For a given set of search engines, a search engine is redundant if its searchable contents can be found from other search engines in this set. In this paper, we propose a method t...
