Computer systems are increasingly parallel and heterogeneous, while programs are still largely written in sequential languages. The obvious suggestion that the compiler should auto...
The application of hardware-parameterized models to distributed systems can result in omission of key bottlenecks such as the full cost of inter-node communication in a shared mem...
Many bacteria carry gene complexes that code for a toxin-antidote pair, e.g. colicin systems. Such gene complexes can be advantageous for its host by killing competitor bacteria wh...
