Tracing algorithms visit reachable nodes in a graph and are central to activities such as garbage collection, marshalling etc. Traditional sequential algorithms use a worklist, re...
The peer-to-peer approach to design large-scale systems has significant benefits including scalability, low cost of ownership, robustness, and ability to provide site autonomy. ...
Assembly lines with closed loop parallel lanes have the potential to continue to be productive when individual stations breakdown. A requirement in such parallel lane systems is t...
The queueing Petri net (QPN) paradigm provides a number of benefits over conventional modeling paradigms such as queueing networks and generalized stochastic Petri nets. Using qu...
This paper proposes a comprehensive modeling architecture for workloads on parallel computers using Markov chains in combination with state dependent empirical distribution functi...
