This paper presents a surprising result: changing a seemingly innocuous aspect of an experimental setup can cause a systems researcher to draw wrong conclusions from an experiment...
Modern processors use branch target buffers (BTBs) to predict the target address of branches such that they can fetch ahead in the instruction stream increasing concurrency and pe...
Software failures in server applications are a significant problem for preserving system availability. We present ASSURE, a system that introduces rescue points that recover softw...
