Accurate performance predictions are difficult to achieve for parallel applications executing on production distributed systems. Conventional point-valued performance parameters a...
In recent years the Unified Modeling Language (UML) including its profiles gained increasing acceptance as a specification language for modeling real-time systems. It is crucia...
A trace of a workload’s system calls can be obtained with minimal interference, and can be used to drive repeatable experiments to evaluate system configuration alternatives. R...
To continue to improve processor performance, microarchitects seek to increase the effective instruction level parallelism (ILP) that can be exploited in applications. A fundament...
In a computational grid environment, a common practice is try to allocate an entire parallel job onto a single participating site. Sometimes a parallel job, upon its submission, ca...
