We present a new technique, early phase termination, for eliminating idle processors in parallel computations that use barrier synchronization. This technique simply terminates ea...
The performance of irregular applications on modern computer systems is hurt by the wide gap between CPU and memory speeds because these applications typically underutilize multi-...

In this paper we describe Maestro, a dataflow computation framework for Ibis, our Java-based grid middleware. The novelty of Maestro is that it is a self-organizing peer-to-peer s...
A formal approach for characterizing, evaluating and modeling packet reordering is presented. Reordering is, a phenomenon that is likely to become increasingly common on Internet,...

A connectionist model for robust reasoning, CONSYDERR, is proposed to account for some common reasoning patterns found in commonsense reasoning and to remedy the brittleness probl...
