This paper evaluates performance characteristics of the Compaq ES40 shared memory multiprocessor. The ES40 system contains up to four Alpha 21264 CPU’s together with a high-perf...
—We introduce WRP-Lite, which is a table-driven routing protocol that uses non-optimal routes, and compare its performance with the performance of the dynamic source routing (DSR...
This paper explores the firewall security and performance relationship for distributed systems. Experiments are conducted to set firewall security into seven different levels and ...
Abstract. Endpoint admission control is a mechanism for achieving scalable services by pushing quality-of-service functionality to end hosts. In particular, hosts probe the network...
As the technology for high-speed networks has evolved over the last decade, the interconnection of commodity computers (e.g., PCs and workstations) at gigabit rates has become a re...

Performance evaluation tools enable analysts to shed light on how applications behave both from a general point of view and at concrete execution points, but cannot provide detaile...
Reconfigurable computing (RC) is rapidly becoming a vital technology for many applications, from high-performance computing to embedded systems. The inherent advantages of custom-...
