Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) analysis means to compute a safe upper bound to the execution time of a piece of code. Parametric WCET analysis yields symbolic upper bounds: expr...
The aim of the paper is to introduce techniques in order to optimize the parallel execution time of sorting on heterogeneous platforms (processors speeds are related by a constant...
Many high-level parallel programming languages allow for fine-grained parallelism. As in the popular work-time framework for parallel algorithm design, programs written in such lan...
Commodity computer clusters are often composed of hundreds of computing nodes. These generally off-the-shelf systems are not designed for high reliability. Node failures therefore...
