Remote method invocation in Java RMI allows the flow of control to pass across local Java threads and thereby span multiple virtual machines. However, the resulting distributed t...
A key obstacle to large-scale network simulation over PC clusters is the memory balancing problem where a memory-overloaded machine can slow down an entire simulation due to disk ...
Garbage collection yields numerous software engineering benefits, but its quantitative impact on performance remains elusive. One can compare the cost of conservative garbage col...
