In a cluster with a very low-latency interconnect, the remote memory of nodes can serve as a storage that is faster than local disk but slower than local memory. In this paper, we address the problem of transparently utilizing this cluster-wide pool of unused memory as a low-latency paging device. Such a transparent remote memory paging system can enable large-memory applications to benefit fro...

The KPC-9612 TNC is the centerpiece of Kantronics' packet paging system, with the latest release of the 9612 firmware. supporting the mode. A personal computer may also be used to encode pager messages. TIe weather is bad and you know . your emergency group may be called up at any time, but you can't keep your HT turned on while you're at work. Or you're the repeater trustee "on call" in case a...

As PCS networks aim to provide “anytime-anywhere” cellular services, they enable Mobile Terminals (MTs) to communicate regardless of their locations. However, in order to guarantee a successful service delivery, MTs’ real time location should be continuously managed by the network. Location management plays the central role in providing ubiquitous network communications services, which includes...

Traditional operating systems use magnetic disks as paging devices even though the cost of a disk transfer measured in processor cycles contin ues to increase In this paper we explore the use of remote main memory for paging We describe the de sign implementation and evaluation of a pager that uses main memory of remote workstations as a faster than disk paging device and provides reliability i...

Proof: We present here only a sketch of the proof. Consider a symmetric maximal-pool system X m (DB), and a single-paging 1 system with a buffer-pool of size m and a buffer replacement policy that is the same as that of the symmetric system. Let F(s,m) denote the number of faults experienced by the single-paging system when it encounters a reference string s. We can show that X m (DB) preserves...

The goal of this work is to enable mobile devices as a resource in the Grid network.We propose an IP-paging scheme based on the mobile grid computing framework to manage idle mobile devices. Within this framework, we discuss several research issues such as location tracking using IP-paging, limiting power using the Grid page cache, and service migration using reserved resources. We also describ...

locations polled to that point is n sn = kj (1) In this work, we consider the problem of minimizing average paging cost and polling delay in a wireless system. It is assumed that users to be paged move according to a genera1 motion process during the paging events. We find and evaluate the optimal sequential paging strategies for given maximum delay tolerance and compare our results to the clas...

In this work, a two prong dynamic paging activity data analysis is considered. The rrskyline analysis" studies how similar/dissimilar is the paging activity oj different node programs in SPMD execution mode. This analysis is done by determining the rate at which different events Deem", by isolating the peaks of activity from the background, and by correlating the time of occurrence and the ampl...

In hierarchical SIP networks, paging is performed to reduce location update signaling cost for mobility management. However, the cost efficiency largely depends on each mobile node’s session-to-mobility-ratio (SMR), which is defined as a ratio of the session arrival rate to the movement rate. In this paper, we propose the adaptive mobility management scheme that can determine the policy regardi...
