As the speed gap between CPU and memory widens, memory hierarchy has become the primary factor limiting program performance. Until now, the principal focus of hardware and softwar...
that defines abstract costs for measuring or analyzing the performance of computations, (2) to supply the users with a mapping of these costs onto runtimes on various machine model...
Current implementations for aspect-oriented programming languages map the aspect-oriented concepts of source programs to object-oriented bytecode. This hinders execution environme...
