The virtual synchrony model for group communication has proven to be a powerful paradigm for building distributed applications. In applications that use a large number of groups, ...
In this paper, we propose a new family of interconnection networks, called cyclic networks (CNs), in which an intercluster connection is defined on a set of nodes whose addresses...
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 a generic communication primitive designed for sensor networks. Our primitive hides details of network communication while retaining sufficient programmer control over t...
Software barriers have been designed and evaluated for barrier synchronization in large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors, under the assumption that all processorsreach the sync...
