As DRAM access latencies approach a thousand instructionexecution times and on-chip caches grow to multiple megabytes, it is not clear that conventional cache structures continue ...
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
In an effort to push the envelope of system performance, microprocessor designs are continually exploiting higher levels of instruction-level parallelism, resulting in increasing ...
A number of factors, such as the increasing popularity of wireless networks, the opportunities offered by 3G services, and the rapid proliferation of mobile devices, have stimulat...
Abstract. In this doctoral work we aim at developing a new approach to labelled semantics and equivalences for the Concurrent Constraint Programming (CCP) which will enable a broad...
