We study the implication that various timeliness and failure detector assumptions have on the performance of consensus algorithms that exploit them. We present a general framework...
Modern microprocessors can achieve high performance on linear algebra kernels but this currently requires extensive machine-speci c hand tuning. We have developed a methodology wh...

Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is a powerful technique that reduces the resources necessary to solve otherwise intractable problems in computational science. The AMR strategy solv...

Peer-to-peer systems have the desirable property that the amount of resources available in the system increase as demand for services increases due to growth of the system. We exp...
Abstract-- Shared temporary storage space is often the constraining resource for clusters that serve as execution nodes in wide-area distributed systems. At least one large nationa...
