In this paper, we consider a non-saturated IEEE 802.11 based wireless network. We use a three-way fixed point to model the node behavior with Bernoulli packet arrivals and determi...
Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) memory systems suffer from the effects of destructive thread interference. This interference reduces performance predictability because it depends heavil...
Intuitively, aggressive work sharing among concurrent queries in a database system should always improve performance by eliminating redundant computation or data accesses. We show...
