Middleware provides simplicity and uniformity for the development of distributed applications. However, the modularity of the architecture of middleware is starting to disintegrat...
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...
Energy consumption by computer systems has emerged as an important concern. However, the energy consumed in executing an algorithm cannot be inferred from its performance alone: i...
We present a methodology for off-chip memory bandwidth minimization through application-driven L2 cache partitioning in multicore systems. A major challenge with multi-core system...
The paper describes the different phases and subdomains of process modelling and their needs for conceptual and linguistic support, and in what forms. We group the relevant factor...
