—The key feature of many emerging pervasive computing applications is to proactively provide services to mobile individuals. One major challenge in providing users with proactive...
Computational Grids potentially offer low cost, readily available, and large-scale high-performance platforms. For the parallel execution of programs, however, computational GRIDs ...

Device drivers are a significant source of system instability. In this paper, we make the case for running device drivers at user-level to improve robustness and resource managemen...
As technology scales and the energy of computation continually approaches thermal equilibrium [1,2], parameter variations and noise levels will lead to larger error rates at vario...
As new processor and memory architectures advance, clusters start to be built from larger SMP systems, which makes MPI intra-node communication a critical issue in high performanc...
