Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
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...
Menus are a primary control in current interfaces, but there has been relatively little theoretical work to model their performance. We propose a model of menu performance that go...
Filter cache has been proposed as an energy saving architectural feature [9]. A filter cache is placed between the CPU and the instruction cache (I-cache) to provide the instruct...
Performance prediction is set to play a significant role in supportive middleware that is designed to manage workload on parallel and distributed computing systems. This middlewa...
