Abstract. Exploiting the full computational power of current hierarchical multiprocessor machines requires a very careful distribution of threads and data among the underlying non-...
Parallel and distributed programming is conceptually harder to undertake and to understand than sequential programming, because a programmer often has to manage the coexistence an...
The copying approach to tabling (CAT) is an alternative to SLG-WAM and based on incrementally copying the areas that the SLG-WAM freezes to preserve execution states of suspended ...
Improvements in main memory speeds have not kept pace with increasing processor clock frequency and improved exploitation of instruction-level parallelism. Consequently, the gap b...
With the advent of Java 5 annotations, we note a marked increase in the availability of tools that can statically detect potential null dereferences. For such tools to be truly eff...
