In this paper we present a game theoretic framework for obtaining a user-optimal load balancing scheme in heterogeneous distributed systems. We formulate the static load balancing...
Cooperative caches offer huge amounts of caching memory that is not always used as well as it could be. We might find blocks in the cache that have not been requested for many hou...
Prefetching is an effective technique for improving file access performance, which can reduce access latency for I/O systems. In distributed storage system, prefetching for metadat...
