We consider how to efficiently allocate computing resources in order to infer the best of a finite set of simulated systems, where best means that the system has the maximal expec...
Today’s cluster and grid environments demand the usage of product-specific APIs and tools for developing distributed applications. We give an overview of the Distributed Resour...
Virtual machine monitors, especially when used for server consolidation, need to enforce a predefined sharing of resources among the running virtual machines. We propose a new me...
This paper presents new mechanisms for dynamic resource management in a cluster manager called Clusteron-Demand (COD). COD allocates servers from a common pool to multiple virtual...

Abstract. Distributed cluster environments are becoming popular platforms for high performance computing in lieu of single-vendor supercomputers. However, the reliability and susta...
