Compilers employ many aggressive code transformations to achieve highly optimized code. However, because of complex target architectures and unpredictable optimization interaction...
Missing or imprecise requirements can lead stakeholders to make incorrect assumptions. A "Not a Problem" defect report (NaP) describes a software behavior that a stakeho...
Many new Java runtime optimizations report relatively small, single-digit performance improvements. On modern virtual and actual hardware, however, the performance impact of an op...
This paper studies the M/M/s+M queue, i.e., the M/M/s queue with customer abandonment, also called the Erlang-A model, having independent and identically distributed customer aban...
Despite the long history and consistent use of quantitative empirical methods to evaluate information visualization techniques and systems, our understanding of interface use rema...
