Buffer overflow exploits make use of the treatment of strings in C as character arrays rather than as first-class objects. Manipulation of arrays as pointers and primitive pointer...
This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
Virtual execution environments have become increasingly useful in system implementation, with dynamic translation techniques being an important component for performance-critical ...
Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-the-shelf processors become cheaper and faster, ...
Abstract— Noise induced by impedance discontinuities from VLSI packaging is one of the leading challenges facing system level designers in the next decade. The performance of IC ...
