Recently, we presented two very low-cost approaches to compile-time list scheduling where the tasks’ priorities are computed statically or dynamically, respectively. For homogen...
In this paper we explore the packet starvation effect (PSE) that occurs in Ethernet controllers due to the unfairness of the CSMA/CD algorithm. The PSE causes some packets to expe...

We describe a general approach to optimization which we term Squeaky Wheel" Optimization SWO. In SWO, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a solution which is then analyze...
Achieving high performance for concurrent applications on modern multiprocessors remains challenging. Many programmers avoid locking to improve performance, while others replace l...

— In the oblivious path selection problem, each packet in the network independently chooses a path, which is an important property if the routing algorithm is to be independent o...
