We present the initial results from our evaluation study on the performance implications of anycast in DNS, using four anycast servers deployed at top-level DNS zones. Our results...
A large number of user requests execute (often concurrently) within a server system. A single request may exhibit fluctuating hardware characteristics (such as instruction comple...
Disk performance is increasingly limited by its head positioning latencies, i.e., seek time and rotational delay. To reduce the head positioning latencies, we propose a novel tech...
Many performance problems observed in high end systems are actually caused by the runtime system and not the application code. Detecting these cases will require parallel performa...

The evaluation of new network server architectures is usually performed experimentally using either a simulator or a hardware prototype. Accurate simulation of the hardwaresoftwar...
