It is widely accepted that the disproportionate scaling of transistor and conventional on-chip interconnect performance presents a major barrier to future high performance systems...
The automated construction of mathematical proof is a basic activity in computing. Since the dawn of the field of automated reasoning, there have been two divergent schools of tho...
The recent improvements in workstation and interconnection network performance have popularized the clusters of off-the-shelf workstations. However, the usefulness of these cluste...
Optimizations aimed at reducing the impact of memory operations on execution speed have long concentrated on improving cache performance. These efforts achieve a reasonable level...
Home computer systems are frequently insecure because they are administered by untrained, unskilled users. The rise of botnets has amplified this problem; attackers can compromis...
