Abstract. The paper examines the behaviour of a saturated multiprocessor system to which fully synchronous parallel jobs are submitted. In order to simplify the analysis, we assume...
Query processing in database systems may be improved by applying parallel processing techniques. One reason for improving query response time is to support the increased number que...
This paper investigates methods to locate system resources, such as expensive hardware or software modules, to provide the most effective cost / performance tradeoffs in a torus p...
Measurement-based profiling introduces intrusion in program execution. Intrusion effects can be mitigated by compensating for measurement overhead. Techniques for compensation anal...
We have developed a theory of sharing which captures the behaviour of programs with respect to shared data into the framework of process algebra. The core theory can describe prog...
