Knowledge about the workload is an important aspect for scheduling of resources as parallel computers or Grid components. As the scheduling quality highly depends on the character...
Grid users may experience inconsistent performance due to specific characteristics of grids, such as fluctuating workloads, high failure rates, and high resource heterogeneity. Alt...
This paper presents a hybrid scavenger grid as an underlying hardware architecture for search services within digital libraries. The hybrid scavenger grid consists of both dedicate...
Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
Sorting hierarchical data in external memory is necessary for a wide variety of applications including archiving scientific data and dealing with large XML datasets. The topic of ...
