This dissertation discusses the principles, techniques and approaches adopted in the design of task scheduling algorithms for Distributed Parallel Processing Computer Systems (DPCSs) connected with network of front-end ...

workstations are ideally suited for computing jobs which require an interactive environment because they are basically single user machines and hence provide consistent response time. Another factor is the availability ...

In this thesis we address the problem of designing codes for specific applications. To do so we make use of the relationship between clusters and codes. Designing a block code over any finite dimensional space may be thought ...

Performance monitoring counters are implemented in most recent microprocessors. In this thesis, we describe various performance measurement experiments for a program and a system that we conducted on a Linux operating ...
