The system-to-administrator ratio is commonly used as a rough metric to understand administrative costs in high-scale services. With smaller, less automated services this ratio ca...
This paper discusses die cost vs. performance tradeoffs for a PIM system that could serve as the memory system of a host processor. For an increase of less than twice the cost of ...

Modularity is a desirable property of complex software systems, since it simplifies code reuse, verification, maintenance, etc. However, the use of loosely coupled modules intro...
The growing cost of tuning and managing computer systems is leading to out-sourcing of commercial services to hosting centers. These centers provision thousands of dense servers w...
We propose the first combinatorial solution to one of the most classic problems in combinatorial optimization: the generalized minimum cost flow problem (flow with losses and g...
