Conventional implementations of communication middleware (such as CORBA and traditional RPC toolkits) incur considerable overhead when used for performance-sensitive applications ...
In this work we report on data gathered via a deployment of a monitoring and benchmarking infrastructure on two production grid platforms, TeraGrid and Geon. Our result show that t...
Abstract--Packet-combining schemes are an attractive improvement to ARQ schemes, since they allow receivers to keep the good parts of an otherwise erroneous packet and use these wi...
