Internet data centers (IDCs) perform multi-customer hosting on a virtualized collection of resources while Grid computing generalizes distributed computing by focusing on large sc...
The file-bundle caching problem arises frequently in scientific applications where jobs process several files concurrently. Consider a host system in a data-grid that maintains...
Digital archives protect important data collections from failures by making multiple copies at other archives, so that there are always several good copies of a collection. In a c...
In multicluster systems, and more generally, in grids, jobs may require co-allocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of resources such as processors and input files in multipl...
We propose in this paper a heuristic for mapping a set of interacting tasks of a parallel application onto a heterogeneous computing platform such as a computational grid. Our nov...
