c ○ 2006 SWPS A WEB COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT FOR PARALLEL ALGORITHMS IN JAVA
"... Abstract. We present a web computing library (PUBWCL) in Java that allows to execute tightly coupled, massively parallel algorithms in the bulk-synchronous (BSP) style on PCs distributed over the internet whose owners are willing to donate their unused computation power. PUBWCL is realized as a peer ..."

PVM: A Framework for Parallel Distributed Computing
- Concurrency: Practice and Experience
, 1990
"... The PVM system is a programming environment for the development and execution of large concurrent or parallel applications that consist of many interacting, but relatively independent, components. It is intended to operate on a collection of heterogeneous computing elements interconnected by one or ..."

of various types of algorithms (and their interactions), while the underlying infrastructure permits the execution of applications on a virtual computing environment that supports multiple parallel computation models. PVM contains facilities for concurrent, sequential, or conditional execution of application
The SWISS-MODEL Workspace: A web-based environment for protein structure homology modelling
- BIOINFORMATICS
, 2005
"... Motivation: Homology models of proteins are of great interest for planning and analyzing biological experiments when no experimental three-dimensional structures are available. Building homology models requires specialized programs and up-to-date sequence and structural databases. Integrating all re ..."

required tools, programs and databases into a single web-based workspace facilitates access to homology modelling from a computer with web connection without the need of downloading and installing large program packages and databases. Results: SWISS-MODEL Workspace is a web-based integrated service
A simple parallel algorithm for the maximal independent set problem
- SIAM Journal on Computing
, 1986
"... Simple parallel algorithms for the maximal independent set (MIS) problem are presented. The first algorithm is a Monte Carlo algorithm with a very local property. The local property of this algorithm may make it a useful protocol design tool in distributed computing environments and artificial intel ..."

Ptolemy: A Framework for Simulating and Prototyping Heterogeneous Systems
, 1992
"... Ptolemy is an environment for simulation and prototyping of heterogeneous systems. It uses modern object-oriented software technology (C++) to model each subsystem in a natural and efficient manner, and to integrate these subsystems into a whole. Ptolemy encompasses practically all aspects of design ..."

To accommodate this breadth, Ptolemy must support a plethora of widely-differing design styles
The design and implementation of an intentional naming system
- 17TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS PRINCIPLES (SOSP '99) PUBLISHED AS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW, 34(5):186--201, DEC. 1999
, 1999
"... This paper presents the design and implementation of the Intentional Naming System (INS), a resource discovery and service location system for dynamic and mobile networks of devices and computers. Such environments require a naming system that is (i) expressive, to describe and make requests based o ..."

Improving MapReduce Performance in Heterogeneous Environments
, 2008
"... MapReduce is emerging as an important programming model for large-scale data-parallel applications such as web indexing, data mining, and scientific simulation. Hadoop is an open-source implementation of MapReduce enjoying wide adoption and is often used for short jobs where low response time is cri ..."

assumptions do not always hold. An especially compelling setting where this occurs is a virtualized data center, such as Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). We show that Hadoop’s scheduler can cause severe performance degradation in heterogeneous environments. We design a new scheduling algorithm, Longest
External Memory Algorithms and Data Structures
, 1998
"... Data sets in large applications are often too massive to fit completely inside the computer's internal memory. The resulting input/output communication (or I/O) between fast internal memory and slower external memory (such as disks) can be a major performance bottleneck. In this paper, we surve ..."
