 ENIAC in action: making and remaking the modern computer
Haigh T., Priestley M., Rope C., The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 2016. 360 pp. Type: Book (978-0-262033-98-5), Reviews: (4 of 4)
The history of the first Monte Carlo computer simulations was what got me interested in this book in the first place. Once I started reading it, I discovered how little I knew of the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC)...

RPC chains: efficient client-server communication in geodistributed systems
Song Y., Aguilera M., Kotla R., Malkhi D. NSDI 2009 (Proceedings of the 6th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation, Boston, MA, Apr 22-24, 2009) 277-290, 2009. Type: Proceedings
Remote procedure call (RPC) is a common communication primitive for invoking a service from a remote computer. RPCs hide the complexities of network programming behind the familiar face of a standard procedure call, allowing developers...

Towards generic and middleware-independent support for replicated, distributed objects
Domaschka J., Reiser H., Hauck F. Middleware-application interaction (Proceedings of the 1st Workshop on Middleware-Application Interaction, Lisbon, Portugal, Mar 20, 2007) 43-48, 2007. Type: Proceedings
Object replication is a way to improve the availability and scalability of applications based on distributed object architecture. As replication is independent of application logic, various platforms come with this feature integrated r...

Throughput-delay analysis of interrupt-driven kernels with DMA enabled and disabled in high-speed networks
Salah K., El-Badawi K. Journal of High Speed Networks 15(2): 157-172, 2006. Type: Article
Thanks to the growing demand on data communications and the falling prices of high-speed networks, we are currently observing a massive upgrade of network infrastructure from 100-megabyte to 1- and 10-gigabyte networks. This increase i...
