Modern processors require highly accurate branch prediction for good performance. As such, a number of branch predictors have been proposed with varying size and complexity. This ...
Supporting self-management behaviour by means of component-based architectural solutions has been the focus of many current research projects. In such a context, handling unantici...
This paper describes dynamic pressure-aware associative placement (DPAP), a novel distributed cache management scheme for large-scale chip multiprocessors. Our work is motivated by...
One of the main obstacles to the adoption of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) outside the research community is the lack of high level mechanisms to easily program them. This probl...
This paper discusses our experience in building SPIRE, an autonomic system for service provision. The architecture consists of a set of hosted Web Services subject to QoS constrain...
