Gang Scheduling and related techniques are widely believed to be necessary for efficientjob scheduling on distributed memory parallel computers. This is hecause they minimize cont...
Gang scheduling is considered to be a highly effective task scheduling policy for distributed systems. In this paper we present a migration scheme which reduces the fragmentation ...
We explore the creation of a metacomputer by the aggregation of independent sites. Joining a metacomputer is voluntary, and hence it has to be an endeavor that mutually benefits a...
We consider the execution of a complex application on a heterogeneous "grid" computing platform. The complex application consists of a suite of identical, independent pr...
Ring networks are enjoying renewed interest as Storage Area Networks (SANs), i.e., networks for interconnecting storage devices (e.g., disk, disk arrays and tape drives) and stora...
