Most network engineering tools are unsatisfactory. Measurements are not predictive, simulations do not scale, and analysis is limited to oversimplified models. To be more useful, ...
As microprocessors continue to evolve, many optimizations reach a point of diminishing returns. We introduce HLS, a hybrid processor simulator which uses statistical models and sy...
Recent increases in CPU performance have surpassed those in hard drives. As a result, disk operations have become more expensive in terms of the number of CPU cycles spent waiting...
Once the battery becomes fully discharged, a battery-powered portable electronic system goes off-line. Therefore, it is important to take the battery behavior into account. A syst...
Predicting the running time of a parallel program is useful for determining the optimal values for the parameters of the implementation and the optimal mapping of data on processo...
