Growth and usage trends for large decision support databases indicate that there is a need for architectures that scale the processing power as the dataset grows. To meet this nee...
The BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is designed to perform a high precision investigation of the decays of the B-meson produced from electron-pos...
While the MPP is still the most common architecture in supercomputer centers today, a simpler and cheaper machine configuration is growing increasingly common. This alternative s...
In this paper, we present a performance evaluation of a wide-area cluster system based on a rewallenabled Globus metacomputing toolkit. In order to establish communication links ...
For transmission of continuous media (CM) streams such as audio and video over the Internet, a critical issue is that periodic network overloads cause bursty packet losses. Studie...
