Distributed systems are inherently complex, and therefore difficult to design and develop. Experience shows that new technologies—such as components, aspects, and application f...
Given the multicore microprocessor revolution, we argue that the architecture research community needs a dramatic increase in simulation capacity. We believe FPGA Architecture Mod...
