In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands
as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our …

When you think about how far and fast computer science has progressed in recent years, it's
not hard to conclude that a seven-year old handbook may fall a little short of the kind of …

As parallel jobs get bigger in size and finer in granularity," system noise" is increasingly
becoming a problem. In fact, fine-grained jobs on clusters with thousands of SMP nodes run …

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 …

Multi-user system includes a server connected to one or more workstations or" clients"
through a computer network. System provides concurrent access to shared resources (eg …

From the Publisher: This book provides a practical introduction to the theory and real-world
performance of computer operating systems. It is deal for use by computer science …

Todos los usuarios de equipos de cómputo (esto es, prácticamente cualquier persona del
mundo) tienen contacto con un sistema operativo, y ciertas expectativas acerca de su …

This paper describes the scheduling issues specific to the Tera MTA (Multi Threaded
Architecture) and presents solutions to classic scheduling problems. The Tera MTA exploits …

Backfill is a technique in which lower priority jobs requiring fewer resources are initiated
before one or more currently waiting higher priority jobs requiring as yet unavailable …

With traditional event-list techniques, evaluating a detailed discrete event simulation-model
can often require hours or even days of computation time. By eliminating the event list and …
