Compiler driven data layout optimization for regular/irregular array access patterns
Cho D., Pasricha S., Issenin I., Dutt N., Paek Y., Ko S. ACM SIGPLAN Notices 43(7): 41-50, 2008. Type: Article
Memory access patterns on multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoC) are complex enough that they often defeat hardwired caching strategies. Instead of hardwired caches, these systems use scratch pad memory (SPM), acting as a software-cont...

A real-time Java virtual machine with applications in avionics
Armbruster A., Baker J., Cunei A., Flack C., Holmes D., Pizlo F., Pla E., Prochazka M., Vitek J. ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems 7(1): 1-49, 2007. Type: Article, Reviews: (2 of 2)
A hoary falsehood about Java is that it is unsuitable for hard real-time applications, due to the need for garbage collection (GC). The Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) that is now eight years old should have put ...

Characterizing resource availability in enterprise desktop grids
Kondo D., Fedak G., Cappello F., Chien A., Casanova H. Future Generation Computer Systems 23(7): 888-903, 2007. Type: Article
What is the difference between “host availability” and “exec availability” in a grid computing platform? This paper takes the position that the former is not necessarily a good proxy for the latt...

Dynamic real-time scheduling of firm periodic tasks with hard and soft aperiodic tasks
Marchand A., Silly-Chetto M. Real-Time Systems 32(1-2): 21-47, 2006. Type: Article
The authors describe an online scheduler for hybrid task sets that minimizes the response time for sporadic (or aperiodic) tasks, and ensures that the quality-of-service level for periodic tasks is guaranteed. This latter goal is a bit...

The costs and limits of availability for replicated services
Yu H., Vahdat A. ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 24(1): 70-113, 2006. Type: Article
Replication is usually the solution touted when addressing the problem of ensuring highly available services. This technique does not come without a cost, however; availability must be balanced with replica consistency. These tradeoffs...
