We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
Middleware helps to manage the complexity and heterogeneity inherent in distributed systems. Traditional middleware has a monolithic architecture, which makes it difficult to adap...
Modern architecture research relies heavily on detailed pipeline simulation. Simulating the full execution of an industry standard benchmark can take weeks to months to complete. ...
With the advent of web services standards and a serviceoriented Grid architecture, it is foreseeable that competing as well as complimenting computational services will proliferat...
As FPGA devices become larger, more coarse-grain modules coupled with large scale reconfigurable fabric become available, thus enabling new classes of applications to run effici...
