This paper presents a fundamental law for parallel performance: it shows that parallel performance is not only limited by sequential code (as suggested by Amdahl’s law) but is a...
Speculative computing is a technique to improve the execution time of certain applications by starting some computations before it is known that the computations are required. A s...
Background. Currently there are several definitions of measures that should represent the size of software functional requirements. These measures have gained a quite relevant rol...
One vision of a context-aware pervasive networking environment promises the user a seamless access to surrounding services using her personal mobile device. This requires that the...
Programming specialized network processors (NPU) is inherently difficult. Unlike mainstream processors where architectural features such as out-of-order execution and caches hide ...
