The paper presents a primary-backup protocol to manage replicated in-memory database systems (IMDBs). The protocol exploits two features of IMDBs: coarse-grain concurrency control...
Abstract--Parallel programming is hard, because it is impractical to test all possible thread interleavings. One promising approach to improve a multi-threaded program's relia...
Motion-compensating long-term memory prediction extends the spatial dislplacement utilized in block-based hybrid video coding by a variable time delay permitting the use of more f...
In recent years the genetic algorithm community has shown a growing interest in studying dynamic optimization problems. Several approaches have been devised. The random immigrants...
We present a novel architecture of a communication engine for non-coherent distributed shared memory systems. The shared memory is composed by a set of nodes exporting their memory...
