Transactional memory promises to make parallel programming easier than with fine-grained locking, while performing just as well. This performance claim is not always borne out bec...
— In this paper we are concerned with developing more reliable model reduction algorithms. We have focused on less common, but real, examples that fail to be effectively reduced ...
Concurrent programming is becoming more important due to the growing dominance of multi-core processors and the prevalence of graphical user interfaces (GUIs). To prepare students...
Both the academia and practice recognize that information technology (IT) investments may not yield immediate benefits. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of methodological devel...
Many of today’s complex systems are multithreaded servers that effectively run forever and need to work under varying loads and environments. Understanding the behavior of such ...
