A traditional fixed-function graphics accelerator has evolved into a programmable general-purpose graphics processing unit over the last few years. These powerful computing cores...
The soundness of device drivers generally cannot be verified in isolation, but has to take into account the reactions of the hardware devices. In critical embedded systems, interf...
As the performance gap between the CPU and main memory continues to grow, techniques to hide memory latency are essential to deliver a high performance computer system. Prefetchin...
Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) databases include a suite of features -- disk-resident B-trees and heap files, locking-based concurrency control, support for multi-threading ...
