Low Energy Wake-up Logic

Wake-up logic is responsible for informing instructions in the Window that are waiting to execute, about the availability of their input operands. The conventional method of wake-up consumes a significant percentage of the Instruction Window energy. Reducing the wake-up energy also addresses the Instruction Window hot spot problem caused due to the high power density [...]

Using P2P approach for resource discovery in Grid Computing

One of the fundamental requirements of Grid computing is efficient and effective resource discovery mechanism. Resource discovery involves discovery of appropriate resources required by user applications. In this regard various resource discovery mechanisms have been proposed during the recent years. These mechanisms range from centralized to hierarchical information servers approach. Most of the techniques developed [...]

A Study of Scalability and Performance of Solaris Zones

The Solaris operating system is a POSIX-compliant operating system (OS), developed by Sun Microsystems. It has become increasing popular, because the Solaris OS is the first commercially developed UNIX system that was open sourced. Solaris Zones1 is an implementation of an operating system-level virtualization technology first available in a mainstream operating system in Solaris 10. [...]
