Mixed-parallel applications can take advantage of largescale computing platforms but scheduling them efficiently on such platforms is challenging. In this paper we compare the tw...
As deep submicron technologies are advanced, new challenges, such as power consumption and soft errors, are emerging. A naïve technique, which utilizes emerging multicore process...
In contextual computing, where cues beyond direct user input are used to trigger computation, one of the most daunting challenges is inferring what the user is doing. For the doma...

Clusters are the most common solutions for high performance computing at the present time. In this kind of systems, an important challenge is the I/O subsystem design. Typically, ...
Many important parallel applications require multiple flows of control to run on a single processor. In this paper, we present a study of four flow-of-control mechanisms: proces...
