Following the agile philosophy that all core features of a system need an automated test harness, performance requirements also need such a check when they are essential for the s...
Component-based enterprise systems often suffer from performance issues as a result of poor system design. In this paper, we propose a framework to automatically detect, assess an...
We investigate the impact of Operating System's Virtual Memory Managers (VMMs) on performance of enterprise applications. By taking various popular branches of the Linux kerne...
Many of today’s complex systems are multithreaded servers that effectively run forever and need to work under varying loads and environments. Understanding the behavior of such ...
—Although SIMD extensions are a cost effective way to exploit the data level parallelism present in most media applications, we will show that they had have a very limited memory...
