New storage-class memory (SCM) technologies, such as phasechange memory, STT-RAM, and memristors, promise user-level access to non-volatile storage through regular memory instruct...
In object-oriented programming languages, an object is said to escape the method or thread in which it was created if it can also be accessed by other methods or threads. Knowing ...
Applications that use collections of very large, distributed datasets have become an increasingly important part of science and engineering. With high performance wide-area networ...
Traditionally, operating systems use a coarse approximation of memory accesses to implement memory management algorithms by monitoring page faults or scanning page table entries. ...
