This study examined the interplay among processor speed, cluster interconnect and file I/O, using parallel applications to quantify interactions. We focused on a common case wher...
In recent years, increasing manufacturing density has allowed the development of Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs). Application-Specific Instruction Set Processors (ASIPs)...
How do design decisions impact the quality of the resulting software? In an empirical study of 52 ECLIPSE plug-ins, we found that the software design as well as past failure histo...
