A shared memory abstraction can be robustly emulated over an asynchronous message passing system where any process can fail by crashing and possibly recover (crash-recovery model), by having (a) the processes exchange messages to synchronize their read and ...
Causeway provides runtime support for the development of distributed meta-applications. These meta-applications control or analyze the behavior of multi-tier distributed applications such as multi-tier web sites or web services. Examples of meta-applicatio ...
In this paper we introduce a new hardware/software approach to reduce the energy of the shared register file in upcoming embedded architectures with several VLIW processors. This work includes a set of architectural extensions and special loop unrolling te ...
Traditional reliable servers require costly design changes to the processor, use custom system or application software, or cannot scale beyond a few processing elements. We present TRUSS, a family of server architectures providing reliable, scalable comput ...
Embedded systems are evolving from traditional, stand-alone devices to devices that participate in Internet activity. The days of simple, manifest embedded software [e.g. a simple finite-impulse response (FIR) algorithm on a digital signal processor DSP)] ...
Currently, portable consumer embedded devices are increasing more and more their capabilities and can now implement new algorithms (e.g. multimedia and wireless protocols) that a few years ago were resewed only for powerful workstations. Unfortunately, the ...
We introduce a new synchronization problem in mobile ad-hoc systems: the Driving Philosophers. In this problem, an unbounded number of driving philosophers (processes) access a round-about (set of shared resources organized along a logical ring). The crux ...

The vast majority of papers on distributed computing assume that processes are assigned unique identifiers before computation begins. But is this assumption necessary? What if processes do not have unique identifiers or do not wish to divulge them for reas ...
Recent research indicates that prediction-based coherence optimizations offer substantial performance improvements for scientific applications in distributed shared memory multiprocessors. Important commercial applications also show sensitivity to coherenc ...
