Database system architectures are undergoing revolutionary changes. Most importantly, algorithms and data are being unified by integrating programming languages with the database ...
This paper presents a technique called “workload decomposition” in which the CPU workload is decomposed in two parts: on-chip and off-chip. The on-chip workload signifies the ...
Abstract. Prefetching transfers a data item in advance from its storage location to its usage location so that communication is hidden and does not delay computation. We present a ...
