Interactive multimediaapplicationsrequire fast response time. Traditional disk scheduling schemes can incur high latencies, and caching data in memory to reduce latency is usually...
Typical web-database systems receive read-only queries, that generate dynamic web pages as a response, and writeonly updates, that keep information up-to-date. Users expect short ...
Motivated by the optimality of Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) for mean response time, in recent years many computer systems have used the heuristic of "favoring sm...
The number of pipeline stages separating dynamic instruction scheduling from instruction execution has increased considerably in recent out-of-order microprocessor implementations...
At least three factors in the existing migrating systems make them less suitable in Grid systems especially when the goal is to improve the response times for individual applicati...
