The systolic array paradigm has low communication demand because it does not use costly global communication and each processor communicates with few other processors. It is thus s...
This paper presents a new low-level communication subsystem called Nemesis. Nemesis has been designed and implemented to be scalable and efficient both in the intranode communica...
This paper introduces a new approach of approximating the selectivity of multimedia range queries. Estimating the selectivity of a range query is a pre-requisite to optimize a mul...
I/O traces are crucial for understanding the performance of new storage architectures. Unfortunately, traces are extremely bursty and difficult to characterize. They are large, d...
Scan-based architectures, though widely used in modern designs, are expensive in power consumption. In this paper, we present a new technique that allows to design power-optimized...
