FPGA chips in reconfigurable computer systems are used as malleable coprocessors where components of a hardware library of functions can be configured as needed. As the number of ...
Production grids are complex and highly variable systems whose behavior is not well understood and difficult to anticipate. The goal of this study is to estimate the impact of the ...
In emerging Web2.0 applications such as virtual worlds or social networking websites, the number of users is very important (tens of thousands), hence the amount of data to manage...
This article describes an application of the partially observable Markov (POM) model to the analysis of a large scale commercial web search log. Mathematically, POM is a variant o...
Exponentially growing bandwidth requirements and slowing gains in processor speeds have led to the popularity of multiprocessor architectures. Network stack parallelism is increas...
