We consider the fundamental operation of applying a conjunction of selection conditions to a set of records. With large main memories available cheaply, systems may choose to keep...
Multi-resolution validation of hierarchical performance models of scientific applications is critical primarily for two reasons. First, the step-by-step validation determines the c...
As technology scales, more sophisticated fabrication processes cause variations in many different parameters in the device. These variations could severely affect the performance ...
