High-performance graph processing is challenging because the sizes and structures of real-world graphs can vary widely. Graph algorithms also have distinct performance characteristics that lead to different performance ...

This thesis presents Coup, a technique that reduces the cost of updates in shared memory systems. In particular, it describes a new cache coherence protocol, MEUSI, and evaluates its performance under simulation in zsim. ...

I have implemented a cache-oblivious dynamic search tree as an alternative to the ubiquitious B-tree. I use a binary tree with a "van Endcle Boas" layout whose leaves point to intervals in a "packed memory structure". We ...

In this work, the benefits of using 3-D integration in the fabrication of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are analyzed. A CAD tool has been developed to specify 3-dimensional FPGA architectures and map RTL descriptions ...

In this thesis, I designed and implemented a delay-tolerant network stack that allows applications to send messages to other network nodes when no end-to-end connectivity is present. CafNet, the Carry-and-Forward Network, ...

With the growing use of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), it becomes increasingly important that reliable, accurate methods for characterizing and calibrating MEMS be developed. One microsystem in need of specific ...

Server virtualization enables data centers to run many VMs on individual hosts - this reduces costs, simplifies administration and facilitates management. Improvement in hardware and virtualization technology, coupled with ...
