In this paper, we consider semiconductor manufacturing processes that can be characterized by a diverse product mix, heterogeneous parallel machines, sequence-dependent setup time...
Network infrastructure is composed of various devices located either in the core or at the edges of a wide-area network. These devices are required to deliver high transaction thr...
Specific requirements of stream processing on the Grid are discussed. We argue that when the stream processing paradigm is used for cluster computing, the processing components c...
Our study compares CPU performance on RISC and CISC uni and multiprocessors of varying speeds, and shows that the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) style no longer matters. Our s...
