Speech has been the subject of interest for a very long time. Even with so much advancement in the processing techniques and in the understanding of the source of speech, it is, even today, rather difficult to generate ...

Automatic Global Data Partitioning for Distributed Memory Machines (DMMs) is a difficult problem. Distributed memory machines are scalable, but since the memory is distributed across processors, the scheme of placement ...

Knowledge-Based Systems (KBSs) represent a relatively new programming approach and methodology that has evolved and is still evolving as an important sub-area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research. The most prevalent ...

Code optimization or code transformation is a complex function of a compiler involving analyses and modifications with the entire program as its scope. In spite of its complexity, hardly any tools exist to support this ...

High performance networks of workstation are becoming increasingly popular a parallel computing platform because of their lower cost. Both message passing and software distributed shared memory (DSM) programming paradigms ...

As the size and complexity of a software system increases, the design problem goes beyond the algorithms and data structures of the computation. Designing and specifying the overall system structure -- or software architecture ...

The study of architectural parameterization has long neglected other parameterizations in favour of code selector descriptions. In this dissertation, we are concerned with providing linguistic notations for modelling ...

Interpretation of Java bytecode results in slow execution of program.First version of Java Virtual Machine(JVM) implementation was relied on interpretation techniques. On the other hand performance can be improved by ...

An evolutionary process currently taking place in engineering systems is the shift from hardware to software where the role of software engineering is becoming more central in developing large engineering systems. This ...

The introduction of languages like High Performance Fortran (HPF) which allow the programmer to indicate how the arrays used in the program have to be distributed across the local memories of a multi-computer has not ...
