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 ...

Component Based Development has emerged as economical, reusable, scalable way of developing enterprise as well as embedded software applications. Testing distributed component based systems is difficult when third party ...

This thesis, presents a multiprocessor topology, the hierarchical network of hyper-cubes, which has a low diameter, low degree of connectivity and yet exhibits hypercube like versatile characteristics. The hierarchical ...

Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks or RAID is a popular method of improving the reliability and performance of disk storage. Of various levels of RAID, mirrored or RAID1 and rotating parity or RAID5 configurations have ...

The routing strategy used in today's Internet is best-effort service, where all data packets are treated equally. This type of service is not suited for applications such as video conferencing, and video on demand, that ...
