Many modern massively distributed systems deploy thousands of nodes to cooperate on a computation task. Network congestions occur in these systems. Most applications rely on conge...
Over the past several years, with the advent of the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) [10] and the Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF) [14], Service-Oriented Architectures...
Superscalar microprocessor efficiency is generally not as high as anticipated. In fact, sustained utilization below thirty percent of peak is not uncommon, even for fully optimized...
Speculative thread-level parallelism has been recently proposed as an alternative source of parallelism that can boost the performance for applications where independent threads a...
With the growth of the Internet and mobile communication industry, multimedia applications form a dominant computer workload. Media workloads are typically executed on Application...
