In systems consisting of multiple clusters of processors which employ space sharing for scheduling jobs, such as our Distributed ASCI1 Supercomputer (DAS), coallocation, i.e., the...
Resource selection is fundamental to the performance of master/slave applications. In this paper, we address the problem of promoting performance for distributed master/slave appl...
Various timing-based mutualexclusion algorithms have been proposed that guarantee mutual exclusion if certain timing assumptions hold. In this paper, we examine how these algorith...
This paper introduces volume leases as a mechanism for providing cache consistency for large-scale, geographically distributed networks. Volume leases are a variation of leases, w...
