Cooperative checkpointing, in which the system dynamically skips checkpoints requested by applications at runtime, can exploit system-level information to improve performance and ...
In this paper, a new I/O-aware load-balancing scheme is presented to improve overall performance of a distributed system with a general and practical workload including I/O activi...

Exploiting the graphics processing unit (GPU) is useful to obtain higher performance with a less number of host machines in grid systems. One problem in GPU-accelerated grid system...
—P2P storage systems use replication to provide a certain level of availability. While the system must generate new replicas to replace replicas lost to permanent failures, it ca...
