System-level design methods specifically targeted towards multimedia applications have recently received a lot of attention. Multimedia workloads are known to have a high degree o...
In parallel systems, similar jobs tend to arrive within bursty periods. This fact leads to the existence of the locality phenomenon, a persistent similarity between nearby jobs, in...
Evaluation of high performance parallel systems is a delicate issue, due to the difficulty of generating workloads that represent, with fidelity, those that will run on actual sys...
Abstract—We generate and provide miniature synthetic benchmark clones for modern workloads to solve two pre-silicon design challenges, namely: 1) huge simulation time (weeks to m...
We consider a distributed server system and ask which policy should be used for assigning tasks to hosts. In our server, tasks are not preemptible. Also, the task's service d...
