As the last-level on-chip caches in chip-multiprocessors increase in size, the physical locality of on-chip data becomes important for delivering high performance. The non-uniform...
We propose a low overhead, on-line memory monitoring scheme utilizing a set of novel hardware counters. The counters act like pressure gauges indicating the marginal gain in the n...
Internet routers require buffers to hold packets during times of congestion. The buffers need to be fast, and so ideally they should be small enough to use fast memory technologie...
To achieve optimal performance, garbage-collected applications must balance the sizes of their heaps dynamically. Sizing the heap too small can reduce throughput by increasing the...

In this paper, we propose a new, efficient logging protocol, called lazy logging, and a fast crash recovery protocol, called the prefetch-based crash recovery (PCR), for software ...
