Helper threading is a technique that utilizes a second core or logical processor in a multi-threaded system to improve the performance of the main thread. A helper thread executes...
In the near future, semiconductor technology will allow the integration of multiple processors on a chip or multichipmodule (MCM). In this paper we investigate the architecture an...
Being a successful technique in software practice, Object Orientation (OO) is a hot topic in academic research fields. Among many formalisms, rCOS, a refinement calculus of obje...
