Quorum-based Power Saving (QPS) protocols have been proposed for ad hoc networks (e.g., IEEE 802.11 ad hoc mode) to increase energy efficiency and prolong the operational time of...
Metacomputing infrastructures couple multiple clusters (or MPPs) via wide-area networks. A major problem in programming parallel applications for such platforms is their hierarchi...
In this paper we describe a compiler framework which can identify communication patterns for MPIbased parallel applications. This has the potential of providing significant perfo...
Interprocess communication (IPC) is an important phenomenon in distributed computing and operating systems. Microkernels of modern operating systems use synchronous IPC semantics f...
A software framework for the parallel execution of sequential programs using C++ classes is presented. The functional language Concurrent ML is used to implement the underlying ha...
