In the area of Grid computing, there is a growing need to process large amounts of data. To support this trend, we need to develop efficient parallel storage systems that can prov...
Transactional Coherence and Consistency (TCC) is a novel coherence scheme for shared memory multiprocessors that uses programmer-defined transactions as the fundamental unit of p...
Modern operating systems frequently support applications with a variety of timing constraints including hard real-time, soft real-time, and best-effort. To guarantee performance, ...
