—Efficient discovery of nearby devices and services is one of the preconditions to obtain a usable pervasive environment. Typical user interfaces in these environments hide the ...
The aim of this paper is to study the influence of processor mapping on message passing performance of two different parallel computers: the Cray T3E and the SGI Origin 2000. For t...
The memory system's large and growing contribution to system performance motivates more aggressive approaches to improving its efficiency. We propose and analyze a memory hie...
Thread-level speculation provides architectural support to aggressively run hard-to-analyze code in parallel. As speculative tasks run concurrently, they generate unsafe or specul...
As the number of cores per machine increases, memory architectures are being redesigned to avoid bus contention and sustain higher throughput needs. The emergence of Non-Uniform M...
