Following up on a recently renewed interest in computational methods for M/G/1-type processes, this paper considers an M/G/1-like system in which the service time distribution is ...
Synchronization is often necessary in parallel computing, but it can create delays whenever the receiving processor is idle, waiting for the information to arrive. This is especia...
Many large-scale clusters now have hundreds of thousands of processors, and processor counts will be over one million within a few years. Computational scientists must scale their ...

With the emergence of global market and virtual enterprises, coordination of business processes in dispersed organizations by distributed workflow execution will take on more impo...
Communication overhead is one of the most important factors affecting the performance of message passing multicomputers. We present evidence (through the analysis of several paral...
