The art of performance tuning is, alas, still an art; there are few tools to help predict the effects of changes that are motivated by performance needs. In this work, we present ...
Abstract. The ever-increasing popularity of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems provides a strong motivation for designing a dependable P2P system. Dependability in P2P systems can be viewe...
Improving the dependability of computer systems is increasingly important as more and more of our lives depend on the availability of such systems. Wrapping dynamic link libraries...
Consider a multithreaded parallel application running inside a multicore virtual machine context that is itself hosted on a multi-socket multicore physical machine. How should the...
To continue to improve processor performance, microarchitects seek to increase the effective instruction level parallelism (ILP) that can be exploited in applications. A fundament...
