Conventional OLTP systems assign each transaction to a worker thread and that thread accesses data, depending on what the transaction dictates. This thread-to-transaction work ass...
Rendering high-quality computer animations requires intensive computation, and therefore a large amount of time. One way to speed up this process is to devise rendering algorithms...
Current federated systems deploy cost-based query optimization mechanisms; i.e., the optimizer selects a global query plan with the lowest cost to execute. Thus, cost functions in...

We present a study of six batch-pipelined scientific workloads that are candidates for execution on computational grids. Whereas other studies focus on the behavior of single app...

Desktop grids have traditionally focused on executing computation intensive workloads. Can they also be used to execute data-intensive workloads? To answer this question, we prese...
