As transistors keep shrinking and on-chip data caches keep growing, static power dissipation due to leakage of caches takes an increasing fraction of total power in processors. Se...
It is wellknown that http servers can be programmed easier by using multithreading, i.e. each connection is dealt with by a separate thread. It is also known, e.g. from massively ...
This paper presents a general model for estimating access times of serpentine tape drives. The model is used to schedule I/O requests in order to minimize the total access time. W...
In the 2006 U.S. election, it was estimated that over 66 million people would be voting on direct recording electronic (DRE) systems in 34% of the nation's counties [8]. Alth...
