The architecture of a software system has a significant impact on its quality of service (QoS) as measured by several performance metrics such as execution time, availability, th...
Software architectures are often designed with respect to some architecture patterns, like the pipeline and peer-to-peer. These patterns are the guarantee of some quality attribute...
Software pipelining is a critical optimization for producing efficient code for VLIW/EPIC and superscalar processors in highperformance embedded applications such as digital sign...
This paper evaluates the tradeoffs involved in the design of the software-extended memory system of Alewife, a multiprocessor architecturethat implements coherentsharedmemorythrou...
A typical software architecture design process requires the architects to make various trade-off architecture decisions. The architects need to consider different possibilities and...
