Cycles per Instruction (CPI) stacks break down processor execution time into a baseline CPI plus a number of miss event CPI components. CPI breakdowns can be very helpful in gaini...
Performance characteristics, such as response time, throughput and scalability, are key quality attributes of distributed applications. Current practice, however, rarely applies s...
This paper describes an efficient and robust approach to provide a safe execution environment for an entire operating system, such as Linux, and all its applications. The approach...
