This paper describes a Global Computing (GC) environment, called XtremWeb-CH (XWCH). XWCH is an improved version of a GC tool called XtremWeb (XW). XWCH tries to enrich XW in orde...
not things, but abstractions that represent things. Data use provides human civilization’s foundation, and computers and other digital technologies have merely amplified this us...
Tightly coupled parallel applications are increasingly run in Grid environments. Unfortunately, on many Grid sites the ability of machines to create or accept network connections ...
In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm that improves the performance of static task scheduling. Our algorithm is based on the list-scheduling mechanism. For the listing p...
In this paper, we report the design, implementation and experimental results of Machine Bank, a system engineered towards the popular shared-lab scenario, where users outnumber av...
