The floating-point unit of a S/390 CMOS microprocessor is described. It contains a 116 bit fraction dataflow for addition and subtraction and a 64 bit-wide multiplier. Besides the...
Open Distributed Systems are the dominating intellectual issue of the end of this century. Figuring out how to build those systems will become a central issue in distributed system...
We study the problem of exploiting parallelism from search-based AI systems on distributed machines. We propose stack-splitting, a technique for implementing orparallelism, which ...
For complex queries in parallel database systems, substantial amounts of data must be redistributed between operators executed on different processing nodes. Frequently, such inter...
A novel algorithm to generate quad- and hex-dominant, semistructured meshes is presented. The algorithm utilizes a three-step, advancing layer scheme to generate the mesh in struc...
