The IBM Cyclops-64 (C64) chip employs a multithreaded architecture that integrates a large number of hardware thread units on a single chip. A cellular supercomputer is being deve...
Abstract. Software agent technology has attracted much attention for developing various distributed systems, composed of autonomous agents interacting with one another using partic...
We show how the traditional protocol stack, such as TCP/IP, can be eliminated for socket based high speed communication within a cluster. The SCI shared memory interconnect is used...
Layering of protocols o ers several well-known advantages, but typically leads to performance ine ciencies. We present a model for layering, and point out where the performance pr...
This article introduces and explores the condition-based approach to solve the consensus problem in asynchronous systems. The approach studies conditions that identify sets of inpu...
