We present a novel mechanism, called meeting point thread characterization, to dynamically detect critical threads in a parallel region. We define the critical thread the one with...
Uncertainty analysis through sensitivity studies and quantification of the variance of the reliability estimate has become more common in architecture-based software reliability ...
Device scaling in new and future technologies brings along severe increase in the soft error rate of circuits, for combinational and sequential logic. Although potential solutions...
A novel high speed, high capacity electron-beam recording technique using nano technology in a Hard Disk Drive form factor is described. The e- beam source is a carbon nanotube...
Group communication primitives have broad utility as building blocks for distributed applications. The challenge is to create and maintain the distributed structures that support ...
