— A new communication model, called the PlogPT model, is proposed to predict communication performance in a commodity cluster where computing nodes communicate using TCP/IP. This...
Computer manufacturers spend a huge amount of time, resources, and money in designing new systems and newer configurations, and their ability to reduce costs, charge competitive p...
—The functional heterogeneity of non-dedicated computational grids will increase with the inclusion of resources from desktop grids, P2P systems, and even mobile grids. Machine f...
Binomial trees have been used extensively for broadcasting in clusters of workstations. In the case of heterogeneous nondedicated clusters and grid environments, the broadcasting o...
Abstract. Several computing environments including wide area networks and nondedicated networks of workstations are characterized by frequent unavailability of the participating ma...
