We propose a novel approach, called Dynamic Fractional Resource Scheduling (DFRS), to share homogeneous cluster computing platforms among competing jobs. DFRS leverages virtual mac...

We consider the fundamental operation of applying a conjunction of selection conditions to a set of records. With large main memories available cheaply, systems may choose to keep...
