Clusters of high-end workstations and PCs are currently used in many application domains to perform large-scale computations or as scalable servers for I/O bound tasks. Although c...
Applications that use collections of very large, distributed datasets have become an increasingly important part of science and engineering. With high performance wide-area networ...
Abstract. This paper discusses the state-of-the-art fast software implementation of block ciphers on Intel’s new microprocessor Core2, particularly concentrating on “bitslice i...
The need to allow threads to abort an attempt to acquire a lock (sometimes called a timeout) is an interesting new requirement driven by state-of-the-art database applications wit...
We describe a new class of utility-maximization scheduling problem with precedence constraints, the disconnected staged scheduling problem (DSSP). DSSP is a nonpreemptive multipro...
