There are many underlying hardware architectures for execution of parallel applications. One of these is the Network of Workstations (NOW) which is an interesting solution for use...
A software system can be called a safe-system with respect to memory, when it supports only strong-typing and it does not allow for the manual disposal of dynamic memory [2]. The ...
Clusters of high-end workstations and PCs are currently used in many application domains to perform large-scale computations or as scalable servers for I/O bound tasks. Although c...
A key challenge faced by peer-to-peer(P2P) video-on- demand (VoD) systems is their ability, or lack thereof, to provide DVD-like functionality, such as pause, forward and backward ...
We propose an efficient placement algorithm and per-disk prefetching method to effectively support interactive operations in the media server. Our placement policy is incorporate...
