Sparse matrix operations achieve only small fractions of peak CPU speeds because of the use of specialized, indexbased matrix representations, which degrade cache utilization by i...
Web caching techniques reduce user-perceived latency by serving the most popular web objects from an intermediate memory. In order to assure that reused objects are not stale, cond...
Abstract--The now commonplace multi-core chips have introduced, by design, a deep hierarchy of memory and cache banks within parallel computers as a tradeoff between the user frien...
Modern computer systems have been built around the assumption that persistent storage is accessed via a slow, block-based interface. However, new byte-addressable, persistent memo...

A practical problem faced by users of metacomputers and computational grids is: If my computation can move from one system to another, how can I ensure that my data will still be ...
