The need for sharing is well known in a large number of distributed collaborative applications. These applications are difficult to develop for wide area (possibly mobile) networ...
This paper briefly reviews the current research into RISC microprocessor architecture, which now seems to be so complex as to make the acronym somewhat of an oxymoron. In response...
Clustered microarchitectures are an effective approach to reducing the penalties caused by wire delays inside a chip. Current superscalar processors have in fact a two-cluster mic...

This paper is on the Consensus problem, in the context of asynchronous distributed systems made of n processes, at most f of them may crash. A family of failure detector classes s...
This paper evaluates linear models for predicting the Digital Unix five-second load average from 1 to 30 seconds into the future. A detailed statistical study of a large number of...
