Single thread performance remains an important consideration even for multicore, multiprocessor systems. As a result, techniques for improving single thread performance using mult...
This paper discusses the performance of the Transmission Control Protocol under two aspects: First, the future Internet will provide some kind of service diļ¬erentiation and bandw...
Cluster-based servers can substantially increase performance when nodes cooperate to globally manage resources. However, in this paper we show that cooperation results in a substa...
The disparity between microprocessor clock frequencies and memory latency is a primary reason why many demanding applications run well below peak achievable performance. Software c...
