—The peer-to-peer technology offers many advantages, but at the same time, it poses many novel challenges for the research community. Modern peer-to-peer systems are characterize...
The demand for more computational power in science and engineering has spurred the design and deployment of ever-growing cluster systems. Even though the individual components use...
Modern disk drives read-ahead data and reorder incoming requests in a workload-dependent fashion. This improves their performance, but makes simple analytical models of them inade...
