The instruction sets of general-purpose microprocessors are designed to offer good performance across a wide range of programs. The size and complexity of the instruction sets, how...
The computer industry is currently examining the use of strong synchronization operations such as double compareand-swap (DCAS) as a means of supporting non-blocking synchronizati...

The impact of buffer management and priority scheduling is examined in stressful scenarios when the aggregate incoming traffic is higher than the output link capacity of an Asynch...
A major challenge in Metacomputing Systems (Computational Grids) is to effectively use their shared resources, such as compute cycles, memory, communication network, and data repo...
