Component-based software development would allow application software be largely constructed, rather than programmed. This approach would dramatically improve the productivity of ...
One model of multithreading gaining popularity on multiprocessor systems is the message-driven model of computation. The message-driven model is a reactive model in which an arriv...
For decades, the serialization constraints imposed by true data dependences have been regarded as an absolute limit--the dataflow limit--on the parallel execution of serial progra...
The Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) project has been initiated by NASA to explore the use of computer simulation in the development of new aircraft propulsion techno...
There is an increasing trend to use commodity microprocessors as the compute engines in large-scale multiprocessors. However, given that the majority of the microprocessors are so...
