—One step in the verification of hard real-time systems is to determine upper bounds on the worst-case execution times (WCET) of tasks. To obtain tight bounds, a WCET analysis h...
On-network hardware support for multi-destination traffic is a desirable feature in most multiprocessor machines. Multicast hardware capabilities enable much more effective bandwi...
Cluster-based multi-tier systems provide a means for building scalable Internet services. Building adaptive Internet services that are able to apply appropriate system sizing and ...
— Simulated Evolution (SimE) is a sound stochastic approximation algorithm based on the principles of adaptation. If properly engineered it is possible for SimE to reach nearopti...
Dynamic optimization has the potential to adapt the program’s behavior at run-time to deliver performance improvements over static optimization. Dynamic optimization systems usu...
