We present the design and implementation of Arachne, a threads system that can be
interfaced with a communications library for multithreaded distributed computations. In …

Visual analysis of temporal networks comprises an effective way to understand the network
dynamics. It facilitates the identification of patterns, anomalies, and other network properties …

A method of processing threads is provided. The method includes receiving a first thread
that accesses a memory resource in a current state, holding the first thread, and releasing …

We present a novel user-space and transaction-oriented protocol for use in high-
performance distributed computing applications. The TRAP protocol is designed to support …

This thesis explores methods to decrease overheads in an optimistic parallel discrete event
simulation system. A discrete event simulation uses a computer to test a model of a system …

A number of factors motivate and favor the implementation of communication protocols in
user-space. There is a particularly strong motivation for the provision of scalable, multiway …

Precise timing and asynchronous I/O are appealing features for many applications. Unix
kernels provide such features on a per‐process basis, using signals to communicate …

Multi-processor system with fast I/O devices improves processing performance and reduces
the bottleneck by L/O concentration. In the system, the performance influenced by shared …

We present the design of a computational methodology and a prototype software
environment and infrastructure that promotes collaboration in air pollution simulations in a …

When the critical path of a communication session between end points includes the actions
of operating system kernels, there are attendant overheads. Along with other factors, such as …
