Grid environments enable users to share non-dedicated resources that lack performance guarantees. This paper describes the design of application-centric middleware components to a...
The existence of good probabilistic models for the job arrival process and the delay components introduced at different stages of job processing in a Grid environment is important ...
Performance of distributed applications largely depends on the mapping of their components on the underlying architecture. On one mponent-based approaches provide an abstraction su...
This paper presents and validates performance models for a variety of high-performance collective communication algorithms for systems with Cell processors. The systems modeled in...
Although Web prefetching is regarded as an effective method to improve client access performance, the associated overhead prevents it from being widely deployed. Specifically, a ...
