The duration of time for which each application locks each shared resource is critically important in composing multiple independently-developed applications upon a shared “open...
In this paper, we present an efficient procedure for building a piecewise linear function approximation of the speed function of a processor with hierarchical memory structure. Th...
CX, a network-based computational exchange, is presented. The system’s design integrates variations of ideas from other researchers, such as work stealing, non-blocking tasks, e...
Web search engines are often implemented as centralized systems. Designing and implementing a Web search engine in a distributed environment is a challenging engineering task that...
