1 Switched system-area networks enable thousands of storage devices to be shared and directly accessed by end hosts, promising databases and filesystems highly scalable, reliable ...
Applications designed to execute on "computational grids" frequently require the simultaneous co-allocation of multiple resources in order to meet performance requiremen...
Abstract. We present an in-depth discussion of the relationships between synchrony and asynchrony. Simple models of both paradigms are presented, and we state theorems which guaran...
Motion estimation is a temporal image compression technique, where an n x n block of pixels in the current frame of a video sequence is represented by a motion vector with respect...
To use multiple memory banks in parallel is a nature approach to boost the performance of flash-memory storage systems. However, realistic data-access localities unevenly load eac...
