Consider a heterogeneous cluster system, consisting of processors with varying processing capabilities and network links with varying bandwidths. Given a DAG application to be sch...
This paper describes Rthreads (Remote threads), a software distributed shared memory system that supports sharing of global variables on clusters of computers with physically dist...
In this study, a new Genetic Algorithm (GA) using the Tabu · Local Search mechanism is proposed. The GA described in this paper is considered a Mega Process GA, which has an effe...
There are many underlying hardware architectures for execution of parallel applications. One of these is the Network of Workstations (NOW) which is an interesting solution for use...
Networks of Workstations (NOW) have become important and cost-effective parallel platforms for scientific computations. In practice, a NOW system is heterogeneous and non-dedicat...
