In many areas such as e-commerce, mission-critical N-tier applications have grown increasingly complex. They are characterized by non-stationary workloads (e.g., peak load several...
The L2 cache is commonly managed using LRU policy. For workloads that have a working set larger than L2 cache, LRU behaves poorly, resulting in a great number of less reused lines...
In this paper, we study the use of semantic information to improve performance of transparent query caching for dynamic content web sites. We observe that in dynamic content web a...
Real-world workloads rarely saturate multi-core processor. CPU C-states can be used to reduce power consumption during processor idle time. The key unsolved problem is: when and h...
Commercial applications such as databases and Web servers constitute the largest and fastest-growing segment of the market for multiprocessor servers. Ongoing innovations in disk ...
