Modern transactional response-time sensitive applications have run into practical limits on the size of garbage collected heaps. The heap can only grow until GC pauses exceed the ...
Instruction combining is an optimization to replace a sequence of instructions with a more efficient instruction yielding the same result in a fewer machine cycles. When we use it...
Sampling has been successfully used to identify performance optimization opportunities. We would like to apply similar techniques to check program correctness. Unfortunately, samp...
This paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a Federated Array of Bricks (FAB), a distributed disk array that provides the reliability of traditional enterpr...
The realization of multimedia systems still heavily relies on building monolithic systems that need to be reengineered for every change in the application and little of which can ...
