Abstract Due to their compactness and power density, planetary gearboxes are used for a wide range of high-performance applications in the automotive, aviation marine sector. Aerospace particular benefit from full use load capacity potential meet requirements lightweight construction efficiency. Against this background, sharing between individual gears plays decisive role. A uniform enables des...

Ensuring that all the head ropes on a multi-rope friction winder share load equally has been design and maintenance issue since they were first developed. Accurate machining of rope grooves is necessary to meet this objective. Early analysis change loads for in are mismatched depth treated as rigid. Groove tolerances deduced from stringent difficult achieve practice. Test work indicated inheren...

A high-throughput computing policy attempts to efficiently utilize all of the resources in a cluster to generate faster overall execution. It is acceptable for jobs running on a workstation serving remote pages to execute more slowly, if other jobs benefit by achieving faster execution times through the use of network RAM, as long as throughput is maximized. Further work must be done to fully u...

In contrast with the situations when the information seeker knows where the needed data is located, XML Information Brokering System (IBS) needs to help each information seeking query ”locate” the corresponding data source(s). Unlike early information sharing approaches that only involve a small number of databases, new information sharing applications are often assumed to be built atop a large...

Load sharing on the transport layer of the OSI reference model is an important topic in the IETF standardization. This approach is also supported by the industry to optimize the use of the resources in a network like the Internet. After many trials, two basic sets of mechanisms and functionalities on the transport layer have been proposed by the IETF to achieve load sharing. These basic sets ex...

An efficient online scheduler is crucial for balancing irregular parallel computations in a multiprocessor system. Over the last two decades, variants of the work-stealing scheduler have emerged as a popular choice for hardware shared-memory systems. The state-of-the-art work-stealing algorithms can guarantee near-optimal asymptotic complexity by relying on simple yet powerful techniques to bal...

A compute farm is a pool of clustered workstations to provide high performance computing services for CPU-intensive, memory-intensive, and I/O active jobs. Existing load sharing schemes with memory considerations assume jobs’ memory demand sizes are known in advance or predictable based on users’ hints. This assumption can greatly simplify the designs and implementations of memory-centric schem...

This thesis discusses techniques for sharing the processing load among multiple processing units within systems that act as nodes in a data communications network. Load-sharing techniques have been explored in the field of computer science for many years and their benefits are well known, including better utilization of processing capacity and enhanced system fault tolerance. We discuss deployi...
