This paper presents an evaluation of the design decisions made in four state-of-the-art constraint solvers; Choco, ECLiPSe, Gecode, and Minion. To assess the impact of design deci...
Parallel machines are typically space shared, or time shared such that only one application executes on a group of nodes at any given time. It is generally assumed that executing ...
We propose a general framework for improving the query processing performance on multi-level memory hierarchies. Our motivation is that (1) the memory hierarchy is an important pe...
Many parallel systems offer a simple view of memory: all storage cells are addresseduniformly. Despite a uniform view of the memory, the machines differsignificantly in theirmemo...
Memory management is a critical issue for correctness and performance of hard-real time systems. Java environments usually incorporate high-throughput garbage collection algorithm...
