As energy consumption in high-performance systems has increased, thermal management has become a big challenge. Providing a cost-effective and detailed temperature sensing mechani...
SVM systems are a cheaper and flexible way to implement the shared memory programming paradigm. Their huge flexibility is due to their software implementation; however, this is al...
In recent software transactional memory proposals, a contention manager module is responsible for ensuring that the system as a whole makes progress. A number of contention manage...
The obstruction-free Dynamic Software Transactional Memory (DSTM) system of Herlihy et al. allows only one transaction at a time to acquire an object for writing. Should a second ...
OLAP queries are typically heavy-weight and ad-hoc thus requiring high storage capacity and processing power. In this paper, we address this problem using a database cluster which...
