As storage systems scale to thousands of disks, data distribution and load balancing become increasingly important. We present an algorithm for allocating data objects to disks as...
—Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are powerful search techniques that are used to solve difficult problems in many disciplines. Unfortunately, they can be very demanding in terms of com...
This paper studies the implementation of efficient multicast protocols for Myrinet, a switched, wormhole-routed, Gigabit-per-second network technology. Since Myrinet does not supp...
Checkpointing of parallel applications can be used as the core technology to provide process migration. Both, checkpointing and migration, are an important issue for parallel appl...
An one-way hash chain generated by the iterative use of a one-way hash function on a secret value has recently been widely employed to develop many practical cryptographic solution...
