Due to the increasing performance requirements of decoding H.264/AVC in HDTV or larger resolutions, new approaches are necessary to enable real-time processing. According to the cu...
The Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) is a heterogeneous multi-core processor specifically designed to exploit thread-level parallelism. Its memory model comprehends a common shared ...
Grid computing brings with it additional complexities and unexpected failures. Just keeping track of our jobs traversing different grid resources before completion can at times be...
Shared memory is an appealing abstraction for parallel programming. It must be implemented with caches in order toperform well, however, and caches require a coherence mechanism t...
The Horus system supports a communication architecture ats protocols as instances of an abstract data type. This approach encourages developers to partition complex protocols into...
