Asynchronous or self-timed systems that do not rely on a global clock to keep system components synchronized can offer significant advantages over traditional clocked circuits in ...
New file systems are critical to obtain good I/O performance on large multiprocessors. Several researchers have suggested the use of collective file-system operations, in which ...
Nucleos is a new runtime system for ultra-lightweight embedded systems. Central to Nucleos is a dispatcher based on the concept of e threaded code, which enables layers of abstrac...
System software for deeply embedded devices has to cope with a broad variety of requirements and platforms, but especially with strict resource constraints. To compete against prop...
