With the rapid growth of computer networks and network infrastructures and increased dependency on the internet to carry out day-to-day activities, it is imperative that the compo...
The run-time performance of VLIW (very long instruction word) microprocessors depends heavily on the effectiveness of its associated optimizing compiler. Typical VLIW compiler pha...
Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability problems...
The sustained push toward smaller and smaller technology sizes has reached a point where device reliability has moved to the forefront of concerns for next-generation designs. Sil...
In this paper, we analyze a wireless LAN hot-spot, based on the IEEE 802.11b protocol, and more specifically we address the issue of defining proper pricing strategies, from bot...
