Smaller feature sizes, reduced voltage levels, higher transistor counts, and reduced noise margins make future generations of microprocessors increasingly prone to transient hardw...
The University of Pittsburgh's Computing Services and Systems Development organization is focused on the needs of the faculty and student population, totaling nearly 40,000 u...
Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) are now commodity hardware, but commoditization of parallel software remains elusive. In the near term, the current trend of increased coreper-socket c...
In this paper, we attempt to describe the evolving status of wireless communications and its impact on the future of mobile computing. We present a historical perspective and eluc...
Efficient and robust metacomputing requires the decomposition of complex jobs into tasks that must be scheduled on distributed processing nodes. There are various ways of creating...
