As technological process shrinks and clock rate increases, instruction caches can no longer be accessed in one cycle. Alternatives are implementing smaller caches (with higher mis...
We develop an algorithm for parallel disk sorting, whose I/O cost approaches the lower bound and that guarantees almost perfect overlap between I/O and computation. Previous algor...
We present a detailed characterization of instruction cache performance for IBM’s J2EE-enabled web server, WebSphere Application Server (WAS). When running two J2EE benchmarks o...

Previous studies in speculative prefetching focus on building and evaluating access models for the purpose of access prediction. This paper investigates a complementary area which...
This paper presents Cluster-Aware Remote Disks (CARDs), a Single System I/O architecture for cluster computing. CARDs virtualize accesses to remote cluster disks over a System Are...
