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...
In this paper, we explore the use of hierarchically structured multiprocessor tasks (M-tasks) for programming multi-core cluster systems. These systems often have hierarchically s...
Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
—Popular Internet services are hosted by multiple geographically distributed datacenters. The location of the datacenters has a direct impact on the services’ response times, c...
Predictable network computing still involves a number of open questions. One such question is providing a controlled amount of CPU time to distributed processes. Mechanisms to cont...
