Improvements in the processing speed of multiprocessors are outpacing improvements in the speed of disk hardware. Parallel disk I/O subsystems have been proposed as one way to clo...
Abstract: Models are important artefacts that support human understanding and communication. Often software development involves specialists from a variety of fields, e.g. mathemat...
As the gap between memory and processor speeds continues to widen, cache efficiency is an increasingly important component of processor performance. Compiler techniques have been...
A formal framework for software development and analysis is presented, which aims at reducing the gap between formal specification and implementation by integrating the two and al...
The abstract mathematical theory of partial differential equations (PDEs) is formulated in terms of manifolds,scalar fields, tensors, and the like, but these algebraic structures a...
