  2. 1. Techniques to Reduce Inefficiencies in Hardware Transactional Memory Systems

    Author : Mridha Mohammad Waliullah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intermediate checkpoint; conflicting address prediction; Bloom filter; conflict resolution; multiprocessor; speculative buffer overflow; parallel programming; 5C model for cache-misses; transactional memory; conflict classification; starvation;

    Abstract : The recent trend of multicore CPUs pushes for major changes in software development. Traditional single-threaded applications can no longer get a sustainable performance boost from this new generation of CPUs that consist of multiple processors (cores). READ MORE

  4. 2. Marginal Productivity Indices and Linear Programming Relaxations for Dynamic Resource Allocation in Queueing Systems

    Author : Jianhua Cao; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Markov decision process; Indexability; Linear programming; Queueing theory; Optimization;

    Abstract : Many problems concerning resource management in modern communication systems can be simplified to queueing models under Markovian assumptions. The computation of the optimal policy is however often hindered by the curse of dimensionality especially for models that support multiple traffic or job classes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Contributions to Specification, Implementation, and Execution of Secure Software

    Author : John Wilander; Mariam Kamkar; Benjamin Livshits; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis contributes to three research areas in software security, namely security requirements and intrusion prevention via static analysis and runtime detection.We have investigated current practice in security requirements by doing a field study of eleven requirement specifications on IT systems.

  6. 4. Schemes to Improve the Efficiency of Hardware Transactional Memory Systems

    Author : Mridha Mohammad Waliullah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transactional memory; parallel programming; chip-multiprocessor; multiprocessor;

    Abstract : In todays ubiquitous multiprocessor environment parallel programming becomesan important tool to reap the maximum gain. But the traditional lock-based parallelprogramming model is not attracting average programmers as the level of expertiseneeded is very high. READ MORE

  7. 5. Policy and implementation assurance for software security

    Author : John Wilander; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; IT-säkerhet; dataskydd; data protection; computer security; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : To build more secure software, accurate and consistent security requirements must be specified. We have investigated current practice by doing a field study of eleven requirement specifications on IT systems. READ MORE
