This paper introduces Pact, a new model for parallel heuristic programming on MIMD machines. Designed and implemented as an integrated tool environment, Pact allows the user to dev...
This paper presents parallel algorithms for MPEG video compression by using the PVM library. Because of the huge amount of computation, a sequential software encoder is slow at th...
This paper reviews literature on scalable data structures for searching in a distributed computing environment. Starting with a system where one server manages a file of a given s...
Present databases, whether on centralized or parallel DBMSs, do not deal well with scalability. We present an architecture for Wintel multicomputers termed AMOS-SDDS, coupling a h...

Declustering and replication are well known techniques used to improve response time of queries in parallel disk environments. As data replication incurs a penalty for updates, da...
In the counting problem, asynchronous concurrent processes repeatedly assign themselves successive values, such as integers or locations in memory. Counting networks are a class o...
In this paper, we follow a new path to arrive at the idea of a COMA — a Cache Only Memory Architecture. We show how the evolution of another architecture (ADARC) leads quite nat...
In this paper, we present a strongly fault-tolerant design for a d-dimensional hypercube multiprocessor and examine its reconfigurability. The augmented hypercube has a spare nod...
