Noise figure is a commonly used system parameter that quantifies the degradation in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as the signal passes through a receiving system. Because of the...
Scalability is a crucial factor in performance evaluation and analysis of parallel and distributed systems. Much effort has been devoted to scalability research and several metric...
We investigate operating system noise, which we identify as one of the main reasons for a lack of synchronicity in parallel applications. Using a microbenchmark, we measure the no...

Measuring structural design properties of a software system, such as coupling, cohesion, or complexity, is a promising approach towards early quality assessments. To use such meas...
In Simultaneous Multithreaded (SMT) architectures most hardware resources are shared between threads. This provides a good cost/performance trade-off which renders these architec...
