There has been a good amount of research over the past few years on the integration of mobile devices into computational grids. Little of it, however, has addressed the more chall...
Advanced bit manipulation operations are not efficiently supported by commodity word-oriented microprocessors. Programming tricks are typically devised to shorten the long sequence...
The rapid development of Internet makes network management on large-scale network a critical issue. But with the management task of large-scale network becoming more complicated, ...
Many programs exploit shared-memory parallelism using multithreading. Threaded codes typically use locks to coordinate access to shared data. In many cases, contention for locks r...
