Advances in fabrication technology have resulted in a continual shrinkage of device dimensions. This has resulted in smaller device delays, greater resistance along interconnect w...
In an effort to push the envelope of system performance, microprocessor designs are continually exploiting higher levels of instruction-level parallelism, resulting in increasing ...
Grid applications often need to distribute large amounts of data efficiently from one cluster to multiple others (multicast). Existing methods usually arrange nodes in optimized t...
As XML has emerged as a data representation format and as great quantities of data have been stored in the XML format, XML document design has become an important and evident issu...
