Achieving sub-millisecond response times in a managed language environment such as Java introduces significant implementation challenges. The Achilles' heel of Java is its reliance on automatic memory management for reclaiming dead objects. Typically, the ...
Many performance analysis tools for Java focus on tracking executed bytecodes, but provide little support in determining the specific contribution of native code libraries. This paper introduces and assesses a portable approach for characterizing the amoun ...
This paper studies the use of bytecode instruction counting (BIC) to estimate the CPU load due to the execution of Java programs in different environments. BIC is the basis of the J-RAF2 framework to monitor and control the resource consumption of Java cod ...
The recent advance of computer technology pushed the computing power of the modern computer systems to unprecedented levels; modern processors moved from the conventional, scalar type of architecture to more sophisticated, parallel ones, combining fast pro ...
The complexity of nowadays, algorithms in terms of number of lines of codes and cross-relations among processing algorithms that are activated by specific input signals, goes far beyond what the designer can reasonably grasp from the “pencil & paper” analy ...
Nowadays, network infrastructures are increasingly used in support to commercialization of digital multimedia content. Such kind of non-material goods, namely videos, music, still images and any other type of multi-media information are ready for the migra ...
We present a framework for distributed combinatorial optimization. The framework is implemented in Java, and simulates a multiagent environment in a single Java virtual machine. Each agent in the environment is executed asynchronously in a separate executi ...
This paper presents hardware and software mechanisms to enable concurrent direct network access (CDNA) by operating systems running within a virtual machine monitor. In a conventional virtual machine monitor, each operating system running within a virtual ...
Commercial Java virtual machines are designed to maximize the performance of applications at the expense of predictability. High throughput garbage collection algorithms, for example, can introduce pauses of 100 milliseconds or more. We are interested in s ...
This paper presents a computing model for resource-limited mobile devices. The originality of the model lies in the integration of a strongly-typed event-based communication paradigm with abstractions for frugal control, assuming a small footprint runtime. ...
