We propose a parallel and distributed component framework for building Grid applications, adapted to the hierarchical, highly distributed, highly heterogeneous nature of Grids. Thi...
In this paper we develop a methodology for treating the problem of scheduling partially-ordered tasks on parallel machines. Our framework is based on the timed automaton model, or...
We propose general purposes natural heuristics for static block and block-cyclic heterogeneous data decomposition over processes of parallel program mapped into multidimensional g...
The characteristics of irregular algorithms make a parallel implementation difficult, especially for PC clusters or clusters of SMPs. These characteristics may include an unpredi...
Kahn defined a formal model for networks of processes that communicate through channels carrying streams of data tokens. His mathematical results show the necessary conditions fo...
