Middleware-based database replication protocols require few or no changes in the database engine. As a consequence, they are more portable and flexible than kernel-based protocols...
In this paper, we present a checkpoint-based scheme to improve the turnaround time of bag-of-tasks applications executed on institutional desktop grids. We propose to share checkp...
Recent high-performance processors employ sophisticated techniques to overlap and simultaneously execute multiple computation and memory operations. Intuitively, these techniques ...

The high transistor density afforded by modern VLSI processes have enabled the design of embedded processors that use clustered execution units to deliver high levels of performan...
In this paper, we explore the feasibility and performance optimization problems for real-time systems that must remain functional during an operation/mission with a fixed, initial...
