When comparing OpenMP to other parallel programming models, it is easier to choose between OpenMP and MPI than between OpenMP and POSIX Threads (Pthreads). With languages like C a...
This paper deals with one of the fundamental properties of grid computing – transferring code between grid nodes and executing it remotely on heterogeneous hosts. Contemporary mi...
We study how a server may disseminate a large volume of data to a set of clients in the shortest possible time. We first consider a cooperative scenario where clients are willing...
The computational power needed for searching exponentially growing databases, such as GenBank, has increased dramatically. Three different implementations of the most widely used ...
In this paper, we consider the issue of constructing an energy-efficient virtual network backbone in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for broadcasting applications using directiona...
