We assert that in order to perform well, a shared-memory multiprocessorinter-process communication (IPC)facility mustavoid a) accessing any shared data, and b) acquiring any locks...
Embedded real-time multimedia applications usually imply data parallel processing. SIMD processors embedded in SOCs are cost-effective to exploit the underlying parallelism. Howev...
Abstract. Simulation platforms for network processing still have difficulties in finding a good compromise between speed and accuracy. This makes it difficult to identify the caus...
Abstract Competition and cooperation can boost the performance of a combinatorial search process. Both can be implemented with a portfolio of algorithms which run in parallel, give...
Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
