Emerging application domains such as interactive vision, animation, and multimedia collaboration display dynamic scalable parallelism, and high computational requirements, making ...
This paper considers resource allocation algorithms for processing streams of events on computational grids. For example, financial trading applications are executed on large comp...
The clustering coefficient of a node in a social network is a fundamental measure that quantifies how tightly-knit the community is around the node. Its computation can be reduce...
In this paper we design a language and runtime support for isolation-only, multithreaded transactions (called tasks). Tasks allow isolation to be declared instead of having to be ...
Occam is a parallel processing language designed by a team at INMOS in conjunction with the design of the transputer processor, and based on Sir T. Hoare's ideas of Communica...
