The probability that a failure will occur before the end of the computation increases as the number of processors used in a high performance computing application increases. For l...
Hybrid processors are HW/SW co-designed processors that leverage blocked-execution, the execution of regions of instructions as atomic blocks, to facilitate aggressive speculative...
Processors such as StrongARM and memory such as SDRAM enable efficient execution of multiple loads and stores in a single instruction. This is particularly useful in connection wi...
Most operating systems enforce process isolation through hardware protection mechanisms such as memory segmentation, page mapping, and differentiated user and kernel instructions....
The enormous potential for wireless sensor networks to make a positive impact on our society has spawned a great deal of research on the topic, and this research is now producing ...
