— In many cases, a mobile user has the option of connecting to one of several IEEE 802.11 access points (APs), each using an independent channel. User throughput in each AP is de...
Many new paradigms of parallel programming have emerged that compete with and complement the standard and well-established MPI model. Most notable, and successful, among these are...
Sampling is a widely used technique to increase efficiency in database and data mining applications operating on large dataset. In this paper we present a scalable sampling imple...
Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) algorithms obtain good lookup performance bounds by using deterministic rules to organize peer nodes into an overlay network. To preserve the invaria...
Cooperative checkpointing, in which the system dynamically skips checkpoints requested by applications at runtime, can exploit system-level information to improve performance and ...
