This paper identifies node affinity as an important property for scalable general-purpose locks. Nonuniform communication architectures (NUCAs), for example CCNUMAs built from a f...
A logic program strongly terminates if it terminates for any selection rule. Clearly, considering a particular selection rule—like Prolog’s leftmost selection rule—allows one...
Hardware designers are increasingly turning to Single Chip Multi-Processors to achieve power and throughput goals. To further increase performance for a specific application the c...

Rapid commoditization of advanced hardware and progress of networking technology is now making wide area high-performance computing a.k.a. the ‘Grid’ Computing a reality. Sinc...
As high performance clusters continue to grow in size, the mean time between failure shrinks. Thus, the issues of fault tolerance and reliability are becoming one of the challengi...
