Synchronous data flow

by Edward A. Lee, et al. , 1987
"... Data flow is a natural paradigm for describing DSP applications for concurrent implementation on parallel hardware. Data flow programs for signal processing are directed graphs where each node represents a function and each arc represents a signal path. Synchronous data flow (SDF) is a special case ..."

of data flow (either atomic or large grain) in which the number of data samples produced or consumed by each node on each invocation is specified a priori. Nodes can be scheduled statically (at compile time) onto single or parallel programmable processors so the run-time overhead usually associated

Distributed Run-Time System, a Protocol for Ada

by Lars Björnfot, Lars Asplund, Kristina Lundqvist, Göran Wall , 1993
"... . The requirements and specification of a protocol for low level communication between the run-time systems in a distributed Ada environment is presented. This allows an Ada system to be separated into software resources and runtime controllers. Calls to the local run-time system of a node, conce ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
of Ada requires an extensive run-time system, RTS. As the need for efficiency and speed contin...

The Google File System

by Sanjay Ghemawat, Howard Gobioff, Shun-tak Leung - ACM SIGOPS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW , 2003
"... We have designed and implemented the Google File System, a scalable distributed file system for large distributed data-intensive applications. It provides fault tolerance while running on inexpensive commodity hardware, and it delivers high aggregate performance to a large number of clients. While s ..."

Jflow: Practical mostly-static information flow control.

by Andrew C Myers - In Proceedings of the 26th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages, , 1999
"... Abstract A promising technique for protecting privacy and integrity of sensitive data is to statically check information flow within programs that manipulate the data. While previous work has proposed programming language extensions to allow this static checking, the resulting languages are too res ..."

in previous models: a decentralized label model, label polymorphism, run-time label checking, and automatic label inference. JFlow also supports many language features that have never been integrated successfully with static information flow control, including objects, subclassing, dynamic type tests, access

A Fast File System for UNIX

by Marshall Kirk Mckusick, William N. Joy, Samuel J. Leffler, Robert S. Fabry - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1984
"... A reimplementation of the UNIX file system is described. The reimplementation provides substantially higher throughput rates by using more flexible allocation policies that allow better locality of reference and can be adapted to a wide range of peripheral and processor characteristics. The new file ..."
Abstract - Cited by 565 (6 self) - Add to MetaCart
file system clusters data that is sequentially accessed and provides two block sizes to allow fast access to large files while not wasting large amounts of space for small files. File access rates of up to ten times faster than the traditional UNIX file system are experienced. Long needed enhancements

CIL: Intermediate language and tools for analysis and transformation of C programs

by George C. Necula, Scott Mcpeak, Shree P. Rahul, Westley Weimer - In International Conference on Compiler Construction , 2002
"... Abstract. This paper describes the CIntermediate Language: a highlevel representation along with a set of tools that permit easy analysis and source-to-source transformation of C programs. Compared to C, CIL has fewer constructs. It breaks down certain complicated constructs of C into simpler ones, ..."
Abstract - Cited by 533 (11 self) - Add to MetaCart
are currently using CIL as part of a system that analyzes and instruments C programs with run-time checks to ensure type safety. CIL has served us very well in this project, and we believe it can usefully be applied in other situations as well. 1

The Vocabulary Problem in Human-System Communication

by G. W. Furnas, T. K. Landauer, L. M. Gomez, S. T. Dumais - COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM , 1987
"... In almost all computer applications, users must enter correct words for the desired objects or actions. For success without extensive training, or in first-tries for new targets, the system must recognize terms that will be chosen spontaneously. We studied spontaneous word choice for objects in five ..."

UCSF Chimera—a visualization system for exploratory research and analysis

by Eric F. Pettersen, Thomas D. Goddard, Conrad C. Huang, Gregory S. Couch, Daniel M. Greenblatt, Elaine C. Meng, Thomas E. Ferrin - J. Comput. Chem , 2004
"... Abstract: The design, implementation, and capabilities of an extensible visualization system, UCSF Chimera, are discussed. Chimera is segmented into a core that provides basic services and visualization, and extensions that provide most higher level functionality. This architecture ensures that the ..."

Tinydb: An acquisitional query processing system for sensor networks

by Samuel R. Madden, Michael J. Franklin, Joseph M. Hellerstein, Wei Hong - ACM Trans. Database Syst , 2005
"... We discuss the design of an acquisitional query processor for data collection in sensor networks. Acquisitional issues are those that pertain to where, when, and how often data is physically acquired (sampled) and delivered to query processing operators. By focusing on the locations and costs of acq ..."
Abstract - Cited by 626 (8 self) - Add to MetaCart
of acquiring data, we are able to significantly reduce power consumption over traditional passive systems that assume the a priori existence of data. We discuss simple extensions to SQL for controlling data acquisition, and show how acquisitional issues influence query optimization, dissemination

TaintDroid: An Information-Flow Tracking System for Realtime Privacy Monitoring on Smartphones

by William Enck, Landon P. Cox, Jaeyeon Jung, et al. , 2010
"... Today’s smartphone operating systems fail to provide users with adequate control and visibility into how third-party applications use their private data. We present TaintDroid, an efficient, system-wide dynamic taint tracking and analysis system for the popular Android platform that can simultaneous ..."
Abstract - Cited by 527 (26 self) - Add to MetaCart
simultaneously track multiple sources of sensitive data. TaintDroid’s efficiency to perform real-time analysis stems from its novel system design that leverages the mobile platform’s virtualized system architecture. TaintDroid incurs only 14 % performance overhead on a CPU-bound micro-benchmark with little
