Predicting how well applications may run on modern systems is becoming increasingly challenging. It is no longer sufficient to look at number of floating point operations and commu...
This paper presents the support for user-defined metrics in the G-PM performance analysis tool. G-PM addresses the demand for aggressive optimisation of Grid applications by using ...
Active networks allow computations to be performed innetwork at routers as messages pass through them. Active networks offer unique opportunities to optimize networkcentric applic...
An embedded wavelet coder algorithm which adopts different threshold values in different subbands is proposed in this work. The new image coder, called the multi-threshold wavelet...
This paper investigates scheduling loosely coupled task-bundles in highly heterogeneous distributed systems. Two allocation quality metrics are used in pay-per-service distributed ...
