In ad-hoc Grids where the availability of resources and tasks changes over the time, distributing the tasks among the scarce resources in a balanced way is a challenging task. In ...
Information on the behavior of programs is essential for deciding the number and nature of functional units in high performance architectures. In this paper, we present studies on...

The task of balancing dynamically generated work load occurs in a wide range of parallel and distributed applications. Diffusion based schemes, which belong to the class of neares...
Programmers and users of compute intensive scientific applications often do not want to (or even cannot) code load balancing and fault tolerance into their programs. The PBEAM syst...
The arrival process of jobs submitted to a parallel system is bursty, leading to fluctuations in the load at many time scales. In particular, rare events of extreme load may occu...
