In this paper the Northrhine-Westphalian metacomputing initiative is described. We start by discussing various general aspects of metacomputing and explain the reasons for founding...
A major research goal for compilers and environments is the automatic derivation of tools from formal specifications. However, the formal model of the language is often inadequat...
Memory latency is an important bottleneck in system performance that cannot be adequately solved by hardware alone. Several promising software techniques have been shown to addres...

Most encryption algorithms are designed without regard to their performance on top-of-the-line microprocessors. This paper discusses general optimization principles algorithms desi...
We present Ensemble, a message-passing implementation methodology, applied to PVM. Ensemble overcomes problems and complexities in developing applications in messagepassing enviro...
