An adaptive cache coherence mechanism exploits semantic information about the expected or observed access behavior of particular data objects. We contend that, in distributed shar...
The possibility for spontaneous ad hoc networks between mobile devices has been increasing as small devices become more capable of hosting useful networked applications. These app...
This paper presents a programming language for parallel computing based on code annotations. It has similar goals and philosophy as OpenMP but it is more tightly coupled to the ob...
Background: Biologists are often interested in performing a simple database search to identify proteins or genes that contain a well-defined sequence pattern. Many databases do no...
Many modern applications, from Grid computing to RSS handling, need to support data processing in a distributed environment. Currently, most such applications are implemented usin...
