The x-Kernel: An Architecture for Implementing Network Protocols

by Norman C. Hutchinson, Larry L. Peterson - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 1991
"... This paper describes a new operating system kernel, called the x-kernel, that provides an explicit architecture for constructing and composing network protocols. Our experience implementing and evaluating several protocols in the x-kernel shows that this architecture is both general enough to acc ..."

Dryad: Distributed Data-Parallel Programs from Sequential Building Blocks

by Michael Isard, Mihai Budiu, Yuan Yu, Andrew Birrell, Dennis Fetterly - In EuroSys , 2007
"... Dryad is a general-purpose distributed execution engine for coarse-grain data-parallel applications. A Dryad applica-tion combines computational “vertices ” with communica-tion “channels ” to form a dataflow graph. Dryad runs the application by executing the vertices of this graph on a set of availa ..."

simultaneously on multi-ple computers, or on multiple CPU cores within a computer. The application can discover the size and placement of data at run time, and modify the graph as the computation pro-gresses to make efficient use of the available resources. Dryad is designed to scale from powerful multi-core sin

High-Throughput LDPC decoders

by Mohammad M. Mansour, Naresh R. Shanbhag, Senior Member - IEEE Trans. on Very Large Scale Integration Systems , 2003
"... Abstract—A high-throughput memory-efficient decoder architecture for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is proposed based on a novel turbo decoding algorithm. The architecture benefits from various optimizations performed at three levels of abstraction in system design—namely LDPC code design, de ..."

The Anatomy of the Grid - Enabling Scalable Virtual Organizations

by Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman, Steven Tuecke - International Journal of Supercomputer Applications , 2001
"... "Grid" computing has emerged as an important new field, distinguished from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale resource sharing, innovative applications, and, in some cases, high-performance orientation. In this article, we define this new field. First, we review ..."
