Time Interpolation: So Many Metrics, So Few Registers
The performance of computer systems varies over the course of their execution. A system may perform well during some parts of its execution and poorly during others. To understand...

Cache-conscious buffering for database operators with state
Database processes must be cache-efficient to effectively utilize modern hardware. In this paper, we analyze the importance of temporal locality and the resultant cache behavior ...

Modulo Scheduling of Loops in Control-intensive Non-numeric Programs
Much of the previous work on modulo scheduling has targeted numeric programs, in which, often, the majority of the loops are well-behaved loop-counter-based loops without early ex...

Pinpointing interrupts in embedded real-time systems using context checksums
When trying to track down bugs using cyclic debugging, the ability to correctly reproduce executions is imperative. In sequential, deterministic, non-real-time software, this repr...

Execution leases: a hardware-supported mechanism for enforcing strong non-interference
High assurance systems such as those found in aircraft controls and the financial industry are often required to handle a mix of tasks where some are niceties (such as the contro...
