Desktop grids are popular platforms for high throughput applications, but due their inherent resource volatility it is difficult to exploit them for applications that require rap...
Replication in grid file systems can significantly improves I/O performance of data-intensive applications. However, most of existing replication techniques apply to individual ...
This paper presents a comprehensive statistical analysis of workloads collected on data-intensive clusters and Grids. The analysis is conducted at different levels, including Virt...
A fully automatic, compiler-driven approach to parallelisation can result in unpredictable time and space costs for compiled code. On the other hand, a fully manual approach to pa...
Heterogeneous distributed environments or grid environments provide large computing resources for the execution of large scientific applications. The effective use of those plat...
