The primary goal of exception mechanisms is to help ensure that when an operation fails, code that depends on the operation's successful completion is not executed (a property...
Improvements in semiconductor technology now enable Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs). As many future computer systems will use one or more CMPs and support shared memory, such systems ...

Real-world data -- especially when generated by distributed measurement infrastructures such as sensor networks -- tends to be incomplete, imprecise, and erroneous, making it impo...
An ad hoc data format is any non-standard, semi-structured data format for which robust data processing tools are not available. In this paper, we present ANNE, a new kind of mark...
Ultra-deep submicron manufacturability impacts physical design (PD) through complex layout rules and large guardbands for process variability; this creates new requirements for ne...
