While previous CPU- or memory-centric load balancing schemes are capable of achieving the effective usage of global CPU and memory resources in a cluster system, the cluster exhib...

Background: MapReduce is a parallel framework that has been used effectively to design largescale parallel applications for large computing clusters. In this paper, we evaluate th...
We investigate factors that impact the effectiveness of caching to speed up discrete event simulation. Walsh and Sirer have shown that a variant of function caching (staged simula...
We show two severe problems with the state of the art in empirical computer system performance evaluation, observer effect and measurement context bias, and we outline the path to...
In this paper, we formulate the array robustness theorems (ARTs) for efficient computation and communication on faulty arrays. No hardware redundancy is required and no assumptio...
