Software transactional memory (STM) is an emerging concurrency control mechanism for shared memory accesses. Early abort is one of the important techniques to improve the executio...
This paper presents a comprehensive statistical analysis of workloads collected on data-intensive clusters and Grids. The analysis is conducted at different levels, including Virt...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Many high-performance communicating systems are designed using the event-driven paradigm. As multicore platforms are now pervasive, it becomes crucial for such systems to take adva...
The pipeline of most Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation (PB-SMT) systems starts from automatically word aligned parallel corpus. But word appears to be too fine-grained ...
