Over the past decades, NASA has promoted a number of efforts to make high performance computing available in space. The idea has been to have enough processing power to support the many space and earth exploration and experimentation satellites orbiting earth and/or exploring the solar system. Such efforts have led to "on board" supercomputers embedded in the spacecraft and, more recently, to the idea of launching constellations of nanosatellites that will, as a whole, provide "server" capabilities in space users (NASA/JPL's Remote Exploration and Experimentation (REE) will be discussed as one such effort to use commercially available computing in space while the New Millennium Project (NMP) will be shown as one example of constellation servers in space). Clearly, space systems need to be self-healing and robust to survive such a hostile environment and computer clusters have been proposed for the purpose. Fault tolerant system functions need to be developed to support and manage the resources available in the cluster. Rate of Change Load Balancing (RoC-LB) will be presented and analyzed as one algorithm that can improve throughput in cluster systems and works well as a fully distributed, on-line repairable and fault tolerant system function.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
