In this paper, we present the design of Cilk-NOW, a runtime system that adaptively and
reliably executes functional Cilk programs in parallel on a network of UNIX workstations. Cilk …

Writing large‐scale parallel and distributed scientific applications that make optimum use of
the multiprocessor is a challenging problem. Typically, computational resources are …

In modern distributed systems, coordinated time-sharing is required for communicating
processes to leverage the performance of switch-based networks and low-overhead …

Workstation networks are an underutilized yet valuable resource for solving large-scale
parallel problems. In this paper, we present" idle-initiated" techniques for efficiently …

The problem of simulating the hydrodynamics and the acoustic waves inside wind musical
instruments such as the recorder, the organ, and the flute is considered. The problem is …

Leslie Lamport once jokingly de ned a distributed system as\one that stops you from getting
