In multicluster systems, and more generally, in grids, jobs may require co-allocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of resources such as processors and input files in multip...
Shared machines in opportunistic grids typically have large quantities of unused disk space. These resources could be used to store application and checkpointing data when the mac...
The centralised management of distributed computing infrastructures presents a number of considerable challenges, not least of which is the effective monitoring of physical resour...
Most applications share the resources of networked workstations with other applications. Since system load can vary dramatically, allocation strategies that assume that resources ...
To communicate between heterogeneous computer systems, mechanisms for data conversion are necessary. In this paper we present a portable, asymmetric data conversion method that is...
