In main-memory databases, the number of processor cache misses has a critical impact on the performance of the system. Cacheconscious indices are designed to improve performance b...
An operating system’s readahead and buffer-cache behaviors can significantly impact application performance; most often these better performance, but occasionally they worsen it...
Increasing levels of microprocessor power dissipation call for new approaches at the architectural level that save energy by better matching of on-chip resources to application re...
