Disk power management is becoming increasingly important in high-end server and cluster type of environments that execute dataintensive applications. While hardware-only approache...
Feedback-directed Optimization has become an increasingly important tool in designing and building optimizing compilers as itprovides a means to analyze complexprogram behavior th...
An optimizing compiler has a hard time to generate a code which will perform at top speed for an arbitrary data set size. In general, the low level optimization process must take i...
Abstract. Network processors are programmable devices that can process packets at a high speed. A network processor is typified by multithreading and heterogeneous multiprocessing...
