It has been observed that some applications manipulate large amounts of null data. Moreover these zero data often exhibit high spatial locality. On some applications more than 20%...
We present a family of methods for speeding up distributed locks by exploiting the uneven distribution of both temporal and spatial locality of access behaviour of many applicatio...
