Sample sort, a generalization of quicksort that partitions the input into many pieces, is known as the best practical comparison based sorting algorithm for distributed memory para...
Causality constraints of random discrete simulation make parallel and distributed processing difficult. Methods of applying reconfigurable logic to implement and accelerate simula...
Software failures in server applications are a significant problem for preserving system availability. We present ASSURE, a system that introduces rescue points that recover softw...
