The recent shift in the industry towards chip multiprocessor (CMP) designs has brought the need for multi-threaded applications to mainstream computing. As observed in several lim...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
As high performance clusters continue to grow in size, the mean time between failure shrinks. Thus, the issues of fault tolerance and reliability are becoming one of the challengi...
Dynamic replication algorithms aim at allocating, migrating and deleting copies of an object over various Internet hosts, according to the access patterns exhibited online, so as ...
General-purpose microprocessors augmented with SIMD execution units enhance multimedia applications by exploiting data level parallelism. However, supporting/overhead related inst...
