In a single second a modern processor can execute billions of instructions. Obtaining a bird’s eye view of the behavior of a program at these speeds can be a difficult task whe...
This paper presents a package management system for the Scheme programming language. It is inspired by the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) and various GNU/Linux distribu...
Message passing libraries such as Parallel Virtual Machine PVM and Message Passing Interface MPI provide a common Application Programming Interface API to implement parallel...
Programming specialized network processors (NPU) is inherently difficult. Unlike mainstream processors where architectural features such as out-of-order execution and caches hide ...
Transient faults are expected a be a major design consideration in future microprocessors. Recent proposals for transient fault detection in processor cores have revolved around t...
