— A new communication model, called the PlogPT model, is proposed to predict communication performance in a commodity cluster where computing nodes communicate using TCP/IP. This...
Using a trace of address references, we compared the efficiency of several different hashing functions, such as cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) polynomials, Fletcher checksum, fol...
This article presents a novel method for computing distances between hosts in a computational Grid. Our method allows to represent the cost to achieve any operation involving some...
Computational grids are now widespread, but their large-scale behaviour is still poorly understood. We report on some calculations of loading, scaling and utilisation behaviours o...
Computing and telecommunications are maturing, and the next century promises a shift away from technology-driven general-purpose devices. Instead, we will focus on the needs of co...
