Internet streaming applications are affected by adverse network conditions such as high packet loss rates and long delays. This paper aims at mitigating such effects by leveraging...
Control intensive scalar programs pose a very different challenge to highly pipelined supercomputers than vectorizable numeric applications. Function call/return and branch instru...
Deeply pipelined high performance processors require highly accurate branch prediction to drive their instruction fetch. However there remains a class of events which are not easi...
We propose and analyze an architecture for storage servers in large Video on Demand (VoD) systems. We describe a method for distributing the collection of titles among the levels o...
Distributed simulation is desired in many industries to support analysis and decision making for complex and integrated problems. Interoperating commercial simulation packages usi...
