Efficient Execution of Tightly-Coupled Parallel Applications in Grid Computing Environments

161 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2007.This thesis examines the feasibility of deploying tightly-coupled parallel applications in Grid computing environments. A desired outcome of this work is the capability of delivering application performance in a Grid environment that is on par with the performance within a single cluster while simultaneously requiring few or no modifications to application software. To that end, the thesis explores techniques that can be deployed effectively at the runtime system level and applied to a variety of application decomposition styles.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
