Sporadic decentralized resource maintenance for P2P distributed storage networks
In this paper, we propose a novel decentralized resource maintenance strategy for peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed storage networks. Our strategy relies on the Wuala overlay network architecture, (The WUALA Project). While the latter is based, for the ...
A grand spread estimator using a graphics processing unit
The spread of a source is defined as the number of distinct destinations to which the source has sent packets during a measurement period. Spread estimation is essential in traffic monitoring, measurement, intrusion detection, to mention a few. To ...
Checkpointing algorithms and fault prediction
This paper deals with the impact of fault prediction techniques on checkpointing strategies. We extend the classical first-order analysis of Young and Daly in the presence of a fault prediction system, characterized by its recall and its precision. In ...
Balls into non-uniform bins
Balls-into-bins games for uniform bins are widely used to model randomised load balancing strategies. Recently, balls-into-bins games have been analysed under the assumption that the selection probabilities for bins are not uniformly distributed. These ...
Joint routing and location-based service in VANETs
Geographic routing protocols use location information when they need to route packets. In the meantime, location information are maintained by location-based services provided by network nodes in a distributed manner. Routing and location services are ...
Research on the conjugate gradient algorithm with a modified incomplete Cholesky preconditioner on GPU
In this study, we discover the parallelism of the forward/backward substitutions (FBS) for two cases and thus propose an efficient preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm with the modified incomplete Cholesky preconditioner on the GPU (GPUMICPCGA). ...
Dynamic replica placement and selection strategies in data grids- A comprehensive survey
Data replication techniques are used in data grid to reduce makespan, storage consumption, access latency and network bandwidth. Data replication enhances data availability and thereby increases the system reliability. There are two steps involved in ...
Direct distributed memory access for CMPs
On-chip distributed memory has emerged as a promising memory organization for future many-core systems, since it efficiently exploits memory level parallelism and can lighten off the load on each memory module by providing a comparable number of memory ...
High quality real-time Image-to-Mesh conversion for finite element simulations
In this paper, we present a parallel Image-to-Mesh Conversion (I2M) algorithm with quality and fidelity guarantees achieved by dynamic point insertions and removals. Starting directly from an image, its implementation is capable of recovering the ...
