Knowing the program timing characteristics is fundamental to the successful design and execution of real-time systems. A critical timing measure is the worst-case execution time (...
The use of multi-core, multi-processor machines is opening new opportunities for software speculation, where program code is speculatively executed to improve performance at the a...
provide tools or abstractions that allow developers to program in parallel. But what hardware do we need to support shared memory threads? The hardware should provide a well-defin...
Execution behavior of a Java application can be nondeterministic due to concurrent threads of execution, thread scheduling, and variable network delays. This nondeterminism in Jav...
Modeling and analysis of program behavior are at the foundation of computer system design and optimization. As computer systems become more adaptive, their efficiency increasingly...
