We present a case study of developing a digital media indexing application, code-named MARVEL, on the STI Cell Broadband Engine (CBE) processor. There are two aspects of the targe...
— Heterogeneous Chip Multiprocessors (HMPs), such as the Cell Broadband Engine, offer a new design optimization opportunity by allowing designers to provide accelerators for appl...
In Cooperative Automatic Repeat reQuest (C-ARQ) protocols, one or more nodes can act as relays, collaborating in the frame retransmission process between a sender and a destination...
Providing point-to-point messaging-passing semantics atop Put/Get hardware traditionally involves implementing a protocol comprising three network latencies. In this paper, we ana...
