As the last-level on-chip caches in chip-multiprocessors increase in size, the physical locality of on-chip data becomes important for delivering high performance. The non-uniform...
Aggressive hardware-based and software-based prefetch algorithms for hiding memory access latencies were proposed to bridge the gap of the expanding speed disparity between proces...
In-memory hash tables provide fast access to large numbers of strings, with less space overhead than sorted structures such as tries and binary trees. If chains are used for collis...
The perceived latency for a user surfing the Internet is the target of a transparent and speculative algorithm that relies on a user behavior model. The model is based on past use...
— Popular documents are frequently mirrored on multiple sites in an effort to share the load and reduce clients’ retrieval latencies. However, choosing the best mirror site is ...
