The goal of this research is to develop performance profiles of parallel and distributed applications in order to predict their execution time under different network conditions....
We introduce a new performance metric, called Load Balancing Factor (LBF), to assist programmers with evaluating different tuning alternatives. The LBF metric differs from traditi...
Abstract. The performance of multi-tier systems is known to be significantly degraded by workloads that place bursty service demands on system resources. Burstiness can cause queu...
