This paper addresses the problem of extracting coarse-grained parallelism from large sequential code. It builds on BOP, a system for software speculative parallelization. BOP lets...
We have developed a system to process database queries over composed data providing web services. The queries are transformed into execution plans containing an operator that invok...
Two trends are converging to make the CPU cost of a table scan a more important component of database performance. First, table scans are becoming a larger fraction of the query p...

With the end of clock-frequency scaling, parallelism has emerged as the key driver of chip-performance growth. Yet, several factors undermine efficient simultaneous use of onchip ...
Companies providing cloud-scale services have an increasing need to store and analyze massive data sets such as search logs and click streams. For cost and performance reasons, pr...
