To manage load on large and dynamic networks we have developed Autonomous Mobile Programs (AMPs) that periodically use a cost model to decide where to execute. A disadvantage of d...
PVM and other distributed computing systems have enabled the use of networks of workstations for parallel computation, but their approach of treating all networks as collections o...
Distributed shared memory (DSM) is a paradigm for programming distributed systems, which provides an alternative to the message passing model. DSM offers the agents of the system ...
Abstract. The shared-cache contention on Chip Multiprocessors causes performance degradation to applications and hurts system fairness. Many previously proposed solutions schedule ...
