High performance application development remains challenging, particularly for scientists making the transition to a Grid environment. In general areas of computing, virtual envir...
We apply the concept of “games with a purpose” to NPcomplete mapping and scheduling problems in distributed systems and report our experiences. The particular context is a sch...
Locales (as first embodied in the SPLINE system) are a very good approach to constructing and organising large virtual environments, especially for distributed and multiuser syste...
We propose a novel approach, called Dynamic Fractional Resource Scheduling (DFRS), to share homogeneous cluster computing platforms among competing jobs. DFRS leverages virtual mac...
