In this paper we describe a new technique, called pipeline spectroscopy, and use it to measure the cost of each cache miss. The cost of a miss is displayed (graphed) as a histogra...

Dynamic Optimization is an umbrella term that refers to any optimization of software that is performed after the initial compile time. It is a complementary optimization opportuni...
Execution plans produced by traditional query optimizers for data integration queries may yield poor performance for several reasons. The cost estimates may be inaccurate, the mem...
Abstract. Technological advances and increasingly complex and dynamic application behavior argue for revisiting mechanisms that adapt logical cache block size to application charac...
