With the end of clock-frequency scaling, parallelism has emerged as the key driver of chip-performance growth. Yet, several factors undermine efficient simultaneous use of onchip ...
We propose a new language concept called "L-closures" for a running program to legitimately inspect/modify the contents of its execution stack. L-closures are lightweight...
1 This paper presents a new approach to trusted Grid computing in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) setting. Trust and security are essential to establish lasting working relationships among th...
A new simple algorithm, based on dynamic programming is presented, for handwritten character recognition, with improved accuracy. The proposed Shape Transform (ST) approach is bas...
In this paper, we quantify the adverse effect of file sharing on the performance of reliable distributed applications. We demonstrate that file sharing incurs significant overhead...
