Grid is an emerging infrastructure used to share resources among virtual organizations in a seamless manner and to provide breakthrough computing power at low cost. Nowadays there...
Group communications (multicast) are foreseen to be one of the most critical yet challenging technologies to meet the exponentially growing demands for data distribution in a large...
The advent of high-performance networks in conjunction with low-cost, powerful computational engines has made possible the development of a new set of technologies termed computat...
Parallel processing networks, even full crossbars, that only implement point-to-point and multicast message passing are inefficient for collective communications because multiple ...
The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
