Distributed systems are inherently complex, and therefore difficult to design and develop. Experience shows that new technologies—such as components, aspects, and application f...
Computation in the physical world is restricted by the following spatial locality constraint: In a single unit of time, information can only travel a bounded distance in space. A ...
On a distributed memory machine, hand-coded message passing leads to the most efficient execution, but it is difficult to use. Parallelizing compilers can approach the performance...
