Current Virtual Machine (VM) live migration mechanisms only focus on providing a high
availability service by offering minimal downtime to users. In this paper, we present a novel …

Abstract While High Performance Computing (HPC) systems continue to scale in volume of
computing elements and overall computing powers, the performance/cost benefit of these …

Cloud provides users with a new model of utilizing the computing infrastructure with the
ability to perform parallel and distributed computations using elastic virtual cluster. However …

Recently, a new concept called desktop cloud emerged, which was developed to offer cloud
computing services on non-dedicated resources. Similarly to cloud computing, desktop …

A cluster of virtual machines is a common platform for running MPI applications in cloud
computing environments. However, most traditional methods to provide fault tolerance to …

Transparent hypervisor-level checkpoint-restart mechanisms for virtual clusters (VCs) or
clusters of virtual machines (VMs) offer an attractive fault tolerance capability for cloud data …

Heterogeneous systems have increased their popularity in recent years due to the high
performance and reduced energy consumption capabilities provided by using devices such …

This paper presents an efficient method for a simple disjunctive decomposition, where
candidates for the bound set are restricted to sets of symmetric variables to reduce the …

Interconnected distributed computing systems, such as computing Grids and federated
Clouds, have been of special importance in both industry and academia. Resources …

Due to the fact that the reliability and availability of a large scaled system inverse to the
number of computing elements, fault tolerance has become a major concern in high …
