Ethernet line rates are projected to reach 100 Gbits/s by as soon as 2010. While in principle suitable for high performance clustered and parallel applications, Ethernet requires ...
The increasing power of modern computers steadily opens up new application domains for advanced data processing such as engineering and knowledge-based applications. To meet their...
Among different wireless LAN technologies 802.11a has recently become popular due to its high throughput, large system capacity, and relatively long range. In this paper, we prop...
Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability problems...
Many Internet applications employ multi-tier software architectures. The performance of such multi-tier Internet applications is typically measured by the end-toend response times...
