Analytic and simulation methods in computer network design

Deep submicron technology scaling has two major ramifications on the design process. First, reduced feature size significantly increases wire delay, thus resulting in critical paths being dominated by global interconnect rather than gate delays. Second, ...

This paper proposes a design for a fully programmable bus/memory controller. It enumerates the various advantages of such a controller, and demonstrates how modern memory models, common processor applications, and evolving operating system utilities ...

Several reflective architectures have attempted to improve meta-object reuse by supporting composition of meta-objects, but have done so using limited mechanisms such as Chains of Responsibility. We advocate the adoption of the Composite pattern to ...
