The Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm is one of the widely used algorithms for sequence alignment in computational biology. With the growing size of the sequence database, there is alw...
In this paper, we investigate the roles of replication vs. repair to achieve durability in large-scale distributed storage systems. Specifically, we address the fundamental questio...
Abstract--The expression of parallel codes through abstract, high-level specifications of global control and data flow can greatly simplify the task of creating large parallel prog...
This work presents a scalability analysis of embarrassingly parallel applications running on cluster and multi-cluster machines. Several applications can be included in this catego...
In this paper, we study the importance of languages for the specification of algorithms in high performance Grid computing. We present one such language, the Algorithm Definition ...
