Checkpointing is a widely used mechanism for supporting fault tolerance, but notorious in its high-cost disk access. The idea of memory-based checkpointing has been extensively stu...
The increasing performance and decreasing cost of processors and memory are causing system intelligence to move into peripherals from the CPU. Storage system designers are using t...
We present three novel methods of compactly storing very large n-gram language models. These methods use substantially less space than all known approaches and allow n-gram probab...
