—The 2D Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is a time-consuming kernel in many multimedia applications such as JPEG2000 and MPEG-4. The 2D DWT consists of horizontal filtering alon...
Buffer caches in operating systems keep active file blocks in memory to reduce disk accesses. Related studies have been focused on how to minimize buffer misses and the caused pe...
An important means of validating the design of commercial-grade shared memory multiprocessors is to run a large number of pseudo-random test programs on them. However, when intent...
—Most research into high-performance software transactional memory (STM) assumes that transactions will run on a processor with a relatively strict memory model, such as Total St...

Continuity of stream playback is the crucial constraint in designing a continuous media server. From a distributed memory architectural model developed earlier, we found that ther...
