While general-purpose homogeneous multi-core architectures are becoming ubiquitous, there are clear indications that, for a number of important applications, a better performance/p...
— In this paper we develop a new dual decomposition method for optimizing a sum of convex objective functions corresponding to multiple agents but with coupled constraints. In ou...
Virtualization and consolidation are two complementary techniques widely adopted in a global strategy to reduce system management complexity. In this paper we show how two simple ...
