A large and increasing gap exists between processor and memory speeds in scalable cache-coherent multiprocessors. To cope with this situation, programmers and compiler writers mus...
The current generation of le systems are inadequate in facing the new technological challenges of wide area networks and massive storage. xFS is a prototype le system we are devel...
As transistor dimensions continue to scale deep into the nanometer regime, silicon reliability is becoming a chief concern. At the same time, transistor counts are scaling up, ena...
