- An Implementation of the POMP Performance Monitoring Interface for OpenMP Based on Dynamic Probes
- OpenMP has emerged as the standard for shared memory parallel programming. Unfortunately, it does not provide a standardized performance monitoring interface, such that users and tools builders could write portable libraries for performance measurement of OpenMP programs. This paper presents an implementation of a performance monitoring interface for OpenMP, based...

- Using Read-Copy-Update Techniques for System V IPC in the Linux 2.5 Kernel
- Read-Copy Update RCU allows lock-free read-only access to data structures that are concurrently modified on SMP systems. Despite the concurrent modifications, read-only access requires neither locks nor atomic instructions, and can often be written as if the data were unchanging, in a "CS 101" style. RCU is typically applied to...

- A Software Architecture for Cross-Layer Wireless Network Adaptations
- Conventional data networks are based on a layered architecture. The introduction of wireless networks has created a need to violate this layered discipline to create cross-layer designs or adaptations. Ad-hoc implementations of such cross-layer adaptations reduce the level of modularity and abstraction in the network's implementation, giving rise to a...
