The application of hardware-parameterized models to distributed systems can result in omission of key bottlenecks such as the full cost of inter-node communication in a shared mem...
Since the early 1970's a number of models have been proposed for estimating software reliability. However, the realism of many of the underlying assumptions and the applicabi...
An operating system’s readahead and buffer-cache behaviors can significantly impact application performance; most often these better performance, but occasionally they worsen it...
Sparse and irregular computations constitute a large fraction of applications in the data-intensive scientific domain. While every effort is made to balance the computational wor...
