paper we describe d/streams, a language-independent abstraction with a small set of simple primitives for buffered I/O on distributed data-structures. We describe the interface an...
Multiple core designs have become commonplace in the processor market, and are hence a major focus in modern computer architecture research. Thus, for both product development and ...
Suppose we have a parallel or distributed system whose nodes have limited capacities, such as processing speed, bandwidth, memory, or disk space. How does the performance of the s...
Kahn defined a formal model for networks of processes that communicate through channels carrying streams of data tokens. His mathematical results show the necessary conditions fo...
Despite recent developments in higher-level middleware for the Grid supporting high level of ease-of-programming, hurdles for widespread adoption of Grids remain high, due to (1) ...
