Technology scaling has resulted in an exponential increase in the leakage power as well as the variations in leakage power of fabricated chips. Functional units (FUs), like Intege...
The fused multiply accumulate instruction (fused-mac) that is available on some current processors such as the Power PC or the Itanium eases some calculations. We give examples of...
In this paper, we present an application of grid computing to solve an important industrial problem: that of optimising the band gap of photonic crystals, which are an important te...

In the near future, there will be increasingly powerful computers in smart cards, telephones, and other information appliances. This will create a massive infrastructure composed ...
Over the last decade, institutions have demonstrated that they are a powerful mechanism to make agent interactions more effective, structured, coordinated and efficient. Different...
