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...
Networks of workstations are fast becoming the standard environment for parallel applications. However, the use of “found” resources as a platform for tightly-coupled runtime ...
Writing parallel applications for computational grids is a challenging task. To achieve good performance, algorithms designed for local area networks must be adapted to the differ...

We introduce a new performance metric, called Load Balancing Factor (LBF), to assist programmers with evaluating different tuning alternatives. The LBF metric differs from traditi...
Virtual Organizations require infrastructure that meets their scientific needs. Traditionally, a VO can require access to computational backends that are suited for interactive app...
