Parallel computers are now commonly used for computational science and engineering, and many applications in these areas use random number generators. For some applications, such ...
This paper proposes a cache hierarchy that enables Web search engines to efficiently process user queries. The different caches in the hierarchy are used to store pieces of data w...
—The advanced sampling and variance reduction techniques as efficient alternatives to the slow crude-MC method have recently been adopted for the analysis of timing yield in dig...
Many distributed applications can be understood in terms of components interacting in an open environment such as the Internet. Open environments are subject to change in unpredic...
In previous papers [5,6], an optical switch architecture was proposed to handle variable-length packets such as IP datagrams, based on an AWG device to route packets and equipped w...
