Abstract. Computer mobility allows people to use computers in varied and changing environments. This variability forces applications to adapt thus requiring awareness of the comput...
Effective data placement strategies can enhance the performance of data-intensive applications implemented on high end computing clusters. Such strategies can have a significant i...
We introduce the coupled placement problem for modern data centers spanning placement of application computation and data among available server and storage resources. While the t...
Although caches for decades have been the backbone of the memory system, the speed gap between CPU and main memory suggests their augmentation with prefetching mechanisms. Recentl...
