We present the MBRAM model for static evaluation of the performance of memory-bound programs. The MBRAM model predicts the actual running time of a memory-bound program directly fr...
Abstract--Chip-MultiProcessor (CMP) architectures are becoming more and more popular as an alternative to the traditional processors that only extract instruction-level parallelism...
We study Reader-Writer Exclusion [1], a well-known variant of the Mutual Exclusion problem [2] where processes are divided into two classes–readers and writers–and multiple re...
Abstract: The problem of discovering association rules in large databases has received considerable research attention. Much research has examined the exhaustive discovery of all a...
Today's transactional memory systems implement the two-phase-locking (2PL) algorithm which aborts transactions every time a conflict happens. 2PL is a simple algorithm that pr...
