We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Replicating data over a cluster of workstations is a powerful tool to increase performance, and provide faulttolerance for demanding database applications. The big challenge in su...
Recent benchmark suite releases such as Parsec specifically utilise the tightly coupled cores available in chipmultiprocessors to allow the use of newer, high performance, models ...

—Despite the well-known fact that sensing patterns in reality are highly irregular, researchers continue to develop protocols with simplifying assumptions about the sensing. For ...
In this paper we present 411, a password distribution system for high performance environments that provides security and scalability. We show that existing solutions such as NIS ...
