Maurer machines are much closer to real computers than Turing machines. Computer instructions play a prominent part in Maurer machines. We show a straightforward way to simulate Tu...
The obstruction-free Dynamic Software Transactional Memory (DSTM) system of Herlihy et al. allows only one transaction at a time to acquire an object for writing. Should a second ...
Jeannette Wing’s call for teaching Computational Thinking (CT) as a formative skill on par with reading, writing, and arithmetic places computer science in the category of basic...
Step caches are caches in which data entered to an cache array is kept valid only until the end of ongoing step of execution. Together with an advanced pipelined multithreaded arc...
Most complexity measures for concurrent algorithms for asynchronous shared-memory architectures focus on process steps and memory consumption. In practice, however, performance of ...
