This paper has three goals. (1) We try to debunk several held misconceptions about secure deletion: that encryption is an ideal solution for everybody, that existing data-overwrit...
The current trend in operating systems research is to allow applications to dynamically extend the kernel to improve application performance or extend functionality, but the most ...
Many parallel scientific applications need high-performance I/O. Unfortunately, end-to-end parallel-I/O performance has not been able to keep up with substantial improvements in p...
We present a dynamic optimization technique, thread warping, that uses a single processor on a multiprocessor system to dynamically synthesize threads into custom accelerator circ...
C's volatile qualifier is intended to provide a reliable link between operations at the source-code level and operations at the memorysystem level. We tested thirteen product...
