A distributed algorithm comprises a collection of sequential-code entities, which are spread over different computers connected to a network. The process of designing a distributed algorithm is influenced by the assumptions we make on the computational env ...
This paper presents the results of the implementation of a Virtual Private Network telecommunications service prototype and associated management services on a distributed platform. The specification thereof has been carried out according to the RACE II pr ...
TreadMarks is a distributed shared memory (DSM) system for standard Unix systems such as SunOS and Ultrix. This paper presents a performance evaluation of TreadMarks running on Ultrix using DECstation-5000/240's that are connected by a 100-Mbps switch-base ...
The extensive use of open networks and distributed system poses serious threats to the security of end-to-end communications and network components themselves. A necessary foundation for securing a network is the ability to reliably authenticate communicat ...

In this paper we describe our experience with Teapot [7], a domain-specific language for writing cache coherence protocols. Cache coherence is of concern when parallel and distributed computing systems make local replicas of shared data to improve scalabil ...
Discusses the goals, components, and concepts of the CAMPUS project, which aims at providing an intelligent broadband ISDN server, using previously developed building blocks, like a switching fabric, ATM interfaces, and host interfaces. Intelligent network ...
Munin is a distributed shared memory (DSM) system that allows shared memory parallel programs to be executed efficiently on distributed memory multiprocessors. Munin is unique among existing DSM systems in its use of multiple consistency protocols and in ...
A network multicomputer is a multiprocessor in which the processors are connected by general-purpose networking technology, in contrast to current distributed memory multiprocessors where a dedicated special-purpose interconnect is used. The advent of high ...
We describe a parallel implementation of a genetic linkage analysis program that achieves good speedups, even for analyses on a single pedigree and with a single starting recombination fraction vector. Our parallel implementation has been run on three diff ...
