Even though high-level hardware synthesis from dataflow graphs becomes popular in designing DSP systems, currently used dataflow models are inefficient to deal with emerging multi...
Several peer-to-peer systems for live streaming have been recently deployed (e.g. CoolStreaming, PPLive, SopCast). These all rely on distributed, epidemic-style dissemination mech...
In this paper, we derive an analytical model for the evaluation of the performance of a Video on Demand (VoD) system. The model estimates the mean waiting time achievable by the P...
There are two popular parallel I/O programming styles used by modern scientific computational applications: unique-file and shared-file. Unique-file I/O usually gives satisfactory ...
