Failure detectors are fundamental building blocks in distributed systems. Multi-node failure detectors, where the detector is tasked with monitoring N other nodes, play a critical...
A dynamically reconfigurable processor (DRP) is designed to achieve high area efficiency by switching reconfigurable data paths dynamically. Our DRP architecture has a stand alone...
Peer-to-peer storage systems assume that their users consume resources in proportion to their contribution. Unfortunately, users are unlikely to do this without some enforcement m...
This paper presents Capriccio, a scalable thread package for use with high-concurrency servers. While recent work has advocated event-based systems, we believe that threadbased sy...
