An Architecture for Wide-Area Multicast Routing

by Stephen Deering , Deborah Estrin , Dino Farinacci , Van Jacobson , Ching-gung Liu, Liming Wei
"... Existing multicast routing mechanisms were intended for use within regions where a group is widely represented or bandwidth is universally plentiful. When group members, and senders to those group members, are distributed sparsely across a wide area, these schemes are not efficient; data packets or ..."

or membership report information are occasionally sent over many links that do not lead to receivers or senders, respectively. We have developed a multicast routing architecture that efficiently establishes distribution trees across wide area internets, where many groups will be sparsely represented. Efficiency

System architecture directions for networked sensors

by Jason Hill, Robert Szewczyk, Alec Woo, Seth Hollar, David Culler, Kristofer Pister - IN ARCHITECTURAL SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND OPERATING SYSTEMS , 2000
"... Technological progress in integrated, low-power, CMOS communication devices and sensors makes a rich design space of networked sensors viable. They can be deeply embedded in the physical world or spread throughout our environment. The missing elements are an overall system architecture and a methodo ..."

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 ..."

An Efficient Architecture for Deblocking Filter

by Chung-ming Chen, Chung-ho Chen - in H.264/AVC Video Coding,” IASTED CIGM , 2005
"... In this paper, we propose an efficient architecture for the adaptive deblocking filter in H.264/AVC video coding standard. We use eight forwarding shift register arrays (of which each contains 4×4 8-bit shift registers) with two transposing operations and two filter units to support simultaneous pro ..."

The Design and Use of Steerable Filters

by William T. Freeman, Edward H. Adelson - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 1991
"... Oriented filters are useful in many early vision and image processing tasks. One often needs to apply the same filter, rotated to different angles under adaptive control, or wishes to calculate the filter response at various orientations. We present an efficient architecture to synthesize filters of ..."

Transactional Memory: Architectural Support for Lock-Free Data Structures

by Maurice Herlihy, J. Eliot B. Moss
"... A shared data structure is lock-free if its operations do not require mutual exclusion. If one process is interrupted in the middle of an operation, other processes will not be prevented from operating on that object. In highly concurrent systems, lock-free data structures avoid common problems asso ..."

associated with conventional locking techniques, including priority inversion, convoying, and difficulty of avoiding deadlock. This paper introduces transactional memory, a new multiprocessor architecture intended to make lock-free synchronization as efficient (and easy to use) as conventional techniques

Exokernel: An Operating System Architecture for Application-Level Resource Management

by Dawson R. Engler, M. Frans Kaashoek, James O’toole , 1995
"... We describe an operating system architecture that securely multiplexes machine resources while permitting an unprecedented degree of application-specific customization of traditional operating system abstractions. By abstracting physical hardware resources, traditional operating systems have signifi ..."

Tinysec: A link layer security architecture for wireless sensor networks

by Chris Karlof, Naveen Sastry, David Wagner - in Proc of the 2nd Int’l Conf on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems
"... We introduce TinySec, the first fully-implemented link layer security architecture for wireless sensor networks. In our design, we leverage recent lessons learned from design vulnerabilities in security protocols for other wireless networks such as 802.11b and GSM. Conventional security protocols te ..."

Efficient Architectural Assessments

Architectural assessments in any organization plays very critical role, as all the applications must go through the architectural assessment either formally or informally ensuring that the specified architecture suits for the project environment or not. Unless we specify rationale to the defined arc ..."

Bayeux: An architecture for scalable and fault-tolerant wide-area data dissemination

by Shelley Q. Zhuang, Ben Y. Zhao, Anthony D. Joseph, Randy H. Katz, John D. Kubiatowicz , 2001
"... The demand for streaming multimedia applications is growing at an incredible rate. In this paper, we propose Bayeux, an efficient application-level multicast system that scales to arbitrarily large receiver groups while tolerating failures in routers and network links. Bayeux also includes specific ..."
