Therefore, the lint step in these algorithms is usually a prediction of the CPU assignment or availability for a new task on each system node (inversely related to its workload). This paper presents the DYPAP monitor; a real-time monitoring utility responsible for periodically characterizing a node state and computing with this information the dynamic process assignment prediction (DYPAP) model. The goal of this model is to predict the CPU assignment of a workstation from measurements, without a priori knowledge about its state. An extensive set of experiments is presented to validate the DYPAP model and to evaluate the monitor performance in all kind of situations.","PeriodicalId":62714,"journal":{"name":"骈文研究","volume":"39 1","pages":"64-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73685662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That tool will be integrated into the load balancing mechanism which is totally written in Java and that we developed in the LIFL project ADAJ. We show how to evaluate the potential power of the CPU with a software totally written in Java. Moreover, we will justify the results provided by our approach. We will also analyse the exploitation of the calibration tool in order to improve the execution time of parallel and distributed applications in the context of load balancing in a network of workstations.","PeriodicalId":62714,"journal":{"name":"骈文研究","volume":"11 1","pages":"155-159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72986527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system exploits the free resources of a heterogeneous set of computers linked together by a network, communicating using SUN Microsystems' Remote Method Invocation and Java sockets. It uses a multi-tiered distributed system model, which in principal allows for a system of unbounded size. The system consists of an n-ary tree of nodes where the internal nodes perform the scheduling and the leaves do the processing. The scheduler nodes communicate in a peer-to-peer manner and the processing nodes operate in a strictly client-server manner with their respective scheduler. The independent schedulers on each tier of the tree dynamically allocate resources between problems based on the constantly changing characteristics of the underlying network. The system has been evaluated over a network of 86 PCs with a bioinformatics application and the travelling salesman optimisation problem.","PeriodicalId":62714,"journal":{"name":"骈文研究","volume":"16 1","pages":"141-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86448528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

J2EE clusters are intended for coarse-grain distributed processing of multiple queries/business transactions over the Web. Thus, the possibility of using a J2EE cluster for fine-grain parallel computations (parallel Joins in our case) is intriguing and of practical interest. We have developed a new variant of the SFR algorithm for parallel computation of Cartesian Product in Join operations and proved its optimality in terms of communication/execution-time tradeoffs via a simple lower bound. Our experimental results show that despite the fact that J2EE is considered to be a platform that uses a complex interfaces and software entities, such as various types of Java beans, J2EE clusters can be efficiently used to execute Join operation in parallel.","PeriodicalId":62714,"journal":{"name":"骈文研究","volume":"129 1","pages":"58-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75483527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The application is taking advantage of MPI and has revealed efficient up to 128 processors.

In that sense, the scattered byzantine failure model generalizes the classical Byzantine failure model. We characterize two reliable services guaranteeing timeliness properties in the presence of Byzantine failures, namely the clock synchronization and the /spl delta/-Atomic Broadcast. We identify necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure the correctness of both services in the scattered byzantine failure model.","PeriodicalId":62714,"journal":{"name":"骈文研究","volume":"74 1","pages":"262-269"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80767991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
