This paper examines the non-linear nature of progress on software projects. It asserts that this uneven accomplishment stems from the continuous need to drive value quickly in res...
No two flight missions are alike, hence, development and on-orbit software costs are high. Software portability and adaptability across hardware platforms and operating systems ha...
The performance of the barrier operation can be crucial for many parallel codes. Especially distributed shared memory systems have to synchronize frequently to ensure the proper o...
