Performance evaluation of the 802.11 MAC protocol is classically based on the decoupling assumption, which hypothesizes that the backoff processes at different nodes are independent. This decoupling assumption results from mean field convergence and is gen ...

To address the growing difficulty of performance debugging on modern processors with increasingly complex micro-architectures, we present Hierarchical Cycle Accounting (HCA), a structured, hierarchical, architecture-agnostic methodology for the identificat ...
Power-line communications are becoming a key component in home networking. The dominant MAC protocol for high data-rate power-line communications, IEEE 1901, employs a CSMA/CA mechanism similar to the backoff process of 802.11. Existing performance evaluat ...
Performance evaluation of the 802.11 MAC protocol is classically based on the decoupling assumption, which hypothesizes that the backoff processes at different nodes are independent. A necessary condition for the validity of this approach is the existence ...
Abstract—Performance evaluation of the 802.11 MAC protocol is classically based on the decoupling assumption, which hypothesizes that the backoff processes at different nodes are independent. A necessary condition for the validity of this approach is the e ...
Deadlock immunity is a property by which programs, once afflicted by a deadlock, develop resistance against future occurrences of that deadlock. We enable real applications to automatically achieve immunity against deadlock bugs involving mutex locks, sema ...
Although transactional models have proved to be very useful for numerous applications, the development of new models to reflect the ever-increasing complexity and diversity of modern applications is a very active area of research. Analysis of the existing ...
This paper addresses the problem of designing an efficient implementation of a basic atomic read-write data structure over an asynchronous message-passing system. In particular, we consider time-efficient implementations of this abstraction in the case of ...
Mobile agents constitute a computing paradigm of a more general nature than the widely used client/server computing paradigm. A mobile agent is essentially a computer program that acts autonomously on behalf of a user and travels through a network of heter ...
Data structures implemented using software transactional memory (STM) have a reputation for being much slower than data structures implemented directly from low-level primitives such as atomic compare-and-swap (CAS). In this paper we present a specialized ...
