Real-time systems design involves many important choices, including that of the processor. The fastest processors achieve performance by utilizing architectural features that make...
Scaling feature size improves processor performance but increases each device’s susceptibility to defects (i.e., hard errors). As a result, fabrication technology must improve s...
Computational Grids potentially offer cheap large-scale high-performance systems, but are a very challenging architecture, being heterogeneous, shared and hierarchical. Rather tha...
