Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on the other hand, is a shared collaborative environment constructed on v...
Clusters of workstations have emerged as a costeffective solution to high performance computing problem. To take advantage of any opportunities, however, effective scheduling tech...
This paper describes an implementation of parallel LU factorization. The focus is to achieve high performance on non-dedicated clusters, where the number of available computing re...
We present DITN, a new method of parallel querying based on dynamic outsourcing of join processing tasks to non-dedicated, heterogeneous computers. In DITN, partitioning is not th...
—Popular web services and applications such as Google Apps, DropBox, and Go.Pc introduce a wasteful imbalance of processing resources. Each host operated by a provider serves hun...
