Informed prefetching provides a simple mechanism for I/O-intensive, cache-ineffective applications to efficiently exploit highly-parallel I/O subsystems such as disk arrays. This ...
Performance analysis of high performance systems is a difficult task. Current tools have proven successful in analysis tasks but their implementation is limited in several respects...
In this paper we develop a methodology for treating the problem of scheduling partially-ordered tasks on parallel machines. Our framework is based on the timed automaton model, or...
Artificial Intelligence has contributed (formal) design models and software support tools to application areas such as architecture, engineering and software design. This paper exp...
Open multithreaded transactions constitute building blocks that allow a developer to design and structure the execution of complex distributed systems featuring cooperative and co...
