The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the average memory access latency. Improving the cache hit rate can have significant positive impact on the per...
Since processor performance scalability will now mostly be achieved through thread-level parallelism, there is a strong incentive to parallelize a broad range of applications, inc...
Excessive power consumption is becoming a major barrier to extracting the maximum performance from high-performance parallel systems. Therefore, techniques oriented towards reduci...
An important factor in the successful deployment of federated web-services-based business activities will be the ability to guarantee reliable distributed operation and execution....
