Load Balancing in Parallel Computers: Theory and Practice is about the essential software
technique of load balancing in distributed memory message-passing parallel computers …

This paper presents a cohesive, practical load balancing framework that improves upon
existing strategies. These techniques are portable to a broad range of prevalent …

Scheduling in the context of parallel systems is often thought of in terms of assigning tasks in
a program to processors, so as to minimize the makespan. This formulation assumes that the …

We describe the design of a flexible load balancing framework and runtime software system
for supporting the development of adaptive applications on distributed-memory parallel …

Multiple imputations (MI) are predominantly applied in such processes that are involved in
the transaction of huge chunks of missing data. Multivariate data that follow traditional …

Previous research has proposed several different load-balancing strategies and measured
their performances on either a distributed system or a multiprocessor network of specific …

The problem of question/answering (Q/A) is to find answers to open-domain questions by
searching large collections of documents. Unlike information retrieval systems very common …

The article describes basic programming techniques and technology to support large scale
irregular applications on hybrid architectures. This support maintains applications …

The main results of this paper are based on the idea that most load balancing algorithms
can be described in the framework of optimization theory. It enables to involve classical …

Parallel computations comprised of multiple, tightly interwoven phases of computation may
require a different approach to dynamic load balancing than single-phase computations …
