Replication in grid file systems can significantly improves I/O performance of data-intensive applications. However, most of existing replication techniques apply to individual ...
Abstract. Financial applications are one of many fields where a multivariate Gaussian random number generator plays a key role in performing computationally extensive simulations. ...
Abstract. We improve the performance of sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV) on modern cache-based superscalar machines when the matrix structure consists of multiple, irregu...
Jackson networks have been very successful in so many areas in modeling parallel and distributed systems. However, the ability of Jackson networks to predict performance with syste...
Data consistency is very desirable because strong semantic properties make it easier to write correct programs that perform as users expect. However, there are good reasons why co...
