We investigate factors that impact the effectiveness of caching to speed up discrete event simulation. Walsh and Sirer have shown that a variant of function caching (staged simula...
World Wide Web search engines typically return thousands of results to the users. To avoid users browsing through the whole list of results, search engines use ranking algorithms ...
Parallel applications typically run in batch mode, sometimes after long waits in a scheduler queue. In some situations, it would be desirable to interactively add new functionalit...
As current trends in software development move toward more complex object-oriented programming, inlining has become a vital optimization that provides substantial performance impr...
Since only a modest improvement in battery lifetime is expected in the next few years, energy conservation is raised as a key factor of the design of mobile devices. In view of th...
