In this paper we present a new notion of what it means for a problem in P to be inherently sequential. Informally, a problem L is strictly sequential P-complete if when the best kn...
Performance monitoring of large scale parallel computers creates a dilemma: we need to collect detailed information to find performance bottlenecks, yet collecting all this data ...
There is a common unjustified belief that OSI management technology, despite being very powerful, is difficult to implement because of the complexity of the underlying service/prot...
Machine learning techniques such as tree induction have become accepted tools for developing generalisations of large data sets, typically for use with production rule systems in p...
Workstation clusters are becoming an interesting alternative to dedicated multiprocessors. In this environment, the probability of a failure, during an application's executio...
