Compression is widely used to reduce data transmission costs, but its impact on the performance of network entities such as web caches has not yet been studied. In this paper, we ...
We explore a new proxy-caching framework that exploits the query semantics of HTML forms. We identify a common class of form-based queries, and study two representative caching sc...
We consider a cluster architecture in which dynamic content is generated by a database back-end and a collection of Web and application server front-ends. We study the effect of t...
A new memory subsystem called Memory Expansion Technology (MXT) has been built for compressing main memory contents. MXT effectively doubles the physically available memory. This ...
Due to the rapid growth in the size of the web, web search engines are facing enormous performance challenges. The larger engines in particular have to be able to process tens of ...
