Parallel database systems have to support the effective parallelization of complex queries in multi-user mode, i.e. in combination with inter-query/inter-transaction parallelism. ...
Multitasking reconfigurable computers with one or more reconfigurable processors are being used increasingly during the past few years. One of the major challenges in such systems...
In this paper we propose the use of an optical network not only as the communication medium, but also as a system-wide cache for the shared data in a multiprocessor. More specifica...
Hybrid chip multithreaded SMPs present new challenges as well as new opportunities to maximize performance. Our intention is to discover the optimal operating configuration of suc...
Fairness is an essential requirement of any operating system scheduler. Unfortunately, existing fair scheduling algorithms are either inaccurate or inefficient and non-scalable fo...
