Enforced hill-climbing is an effective deterministic hillclimbing technique that deals with local optima using breadth-first search (a process called "basin flooding"). ...
In the search for high performance, most transactional memory (TM) systems execute atomic blocks concurrently and must thus be prepared for data conflicts. The TM system must then...
We propose a novel heterogeneous scalable desktop grid system, WaveGrid, which uses a peer-to-peer architecture and can satisfy the needs of applications with fastturnaround requi...
—In this paper, we consider the design of caching infrastructure to enhance the client-perceived performance of mobile wireless clients retrieving multimedia objects from the Int...

In this paper, we reevaluate the use of adaptive compressed caching to improve system performance through the reduction of accesses to the backing stores. We propose a new adaptab...
