Abstract--Software transactional memory (STM) algorithms often rely on centralized components to achieve atomicity, isolation and consistency. In a distributed setting, centralized...
This paper investigates scheduling loosely coupled task-bundles in highly heterogeneous distributed systems. Two allocation quality metrics are used in pay-per-service distributed ...
Current cloud computing infrastructure offerings are lacking in interoperability, which is a hindrance to the advancement and adoption of the cloud computing paradigm. As clouds ar...
—Urban sensing where mobile users continuously gather, process, and share location-sensitive sensor data (e.g., street images, road condition, traffic flow) is emerging as a ne...
The number of cores in a single chip multiprocessor is expected to grow in coming years. Likewise, aggregate on-chip cache capacity is increasing fast and its effective utilizatio...
