Transactional memory is a promising, optimistic synchronization mechanism for chip-multiprocessor systems. The simplicity of atomic sections, instead of using explicit locks, is al...
The hardware infrastructure that provides the support of ubiquitous embedded computing may be shared by different applications. Many of those applications have real-time requireme...
We present the design and implementation of a digital image capture and distribution system that supports remote ultrasound ezaminations and, in particular, real-time diagnosis fo...

In this paper we propose a hardware real time operating system (HW-RTOS) that implements the OS layer in a dual-processor SMP architecture. Intertask communication is specified b...
The huge number of cores existing in current Graphics Processor Units (GPUs) provides these devices with computing capabilities that can be exploited by distributed applications. I...
