Since the advent of electronic computing, the processors’ clock speed has risen tremendously. Now that energy efficiency requirements have stopped that trend, the number of proc...
In data centers hosting scaling Internet applications, operators face the tradeoff dilemma between resource efficiency and Quality of Service (QoS), and the root cause lies in wo...
Supporting uninterrupted services for distributed soft real-time applications is hard in resource-constrained and dynamic environments, where processor or process failures and sys...
