On-line partial evaluators are hardly ever selfapplicable, because the complexity of deciding whether to residualize terms causes combinatorial explosion when self-application is ...
The conditional branch has long been considered an expensive operation. The relative cost of conditional branches has increased as recently designed machines are now relying on de...
This paper presents a new algorithm for distributed garbage collection and outlines its implementation within the Network Objects system. The algorithm is based on a reference list...
One model of multithreading gaining popularity on multiprocessor systems is the message-driven model of computation. The message-driven model is a reactive model in which an arriv...
PVM and other distributed computing systems have enabled the use of networks of workstations for parallel computation, but their approach of treating all networks as collections o...
