Compilers can exploit knowledge that a variable has a fixed known value at a program point for optimizations such as code specialization and constant folding. Recent work has shown...
Peer-to-peer overlays envision a single overlay substrate that can be used (possibly simultaneously) by many applications, but current overlays either target fast, few-hop lookups...
To fully exploit multicore processors, applications are expected to provide a large degree of thread-level parallelism. While adequate for low core counts and their typical worklo...
Load balance is critical to achieving scalability for large network emulation studies, which are of compelling interest for emerging Grid, Peer to Peer, and other distributed appl...
Positional ranking functions, widely used in web search engines, improve result quality by exploiting the positions of the query terms within documents. However, it is well known ...
