Several application and technology trends indicate that it might be both pro table and feasible to move computation closer to the data that it processes. In this paper, we evaluat...
Technology trends make it attractive to use workstations connected by a local area network as a multicomputing platform for parallel applications. Achieving acceptable application...

Traditionally, application specific computations have been focusing on numerically intensive data manipulation. Modern communications and DSP applications, such as WWW, interactiv...
A vast body of theoretical research has focused either on overly simplistic models of parallel computation, notably the PRAM, or overly specific models that have few representati...
