An accurate, tractable, analytic cache model for time-shared systems is presented, which estimates the overall cache missrate of a multiprocessing system with any cache size and t...
Context switching imposes a performance penalty on threads in a multitasking environment. The source of this penalty is both direct overhead due to running the context switch code...

We present and evaluate the idea of adaptive processor cache management. Specifically, we describe a novel and general scheme by which we can combine any two cache management alg...

Measuring the indirect cost of context switch is a challenging problem. In this paper, we show our results of experimentally quantifying the indirect cost of context switch using ...
—User-level communication allows an application process to access the network interface directly. Bypassing the kernel requires that a user process accesses the network interface...
