In emerging Web2.0 applications such as virtual worlds or social networking websites, the number of users is very important (tens of thousands), hence the amount of data to manage...
I/O intensive workloads running in virtual machines can suffer massive performance degradation. Direct assignment of I/O devices to virtual machines is the best performing I/O vir...
This paper presents a new approach to improve performance of Java programs by extending the superthreaded speculative execution model [14, 15] to exploit coarsegrained parallelism...
In this paper, we quantify the adverse effect of file sharing on the performance of reliable distributed applications. We demonstrate that file sharing incurs significant overhead...
—Reducing communication latency, which is a performance bottleneck in optically interconnected multiprocessor systems, is of prominent importance. A conventional approach for est...
