Emerging fast, non-volatile memories (e.g., phase change memories, spin-torque MRAMs, and the memristor) reduce storage access latencies by an order of magnitude compared to state...

The Decomposition Storage Model (DSM) vertically partitions all attributes of a given relation. DSM has excellent I/O behavior when the number of attributes touched in the query i...
— This paper presents a parallel external-memory algorithm for performing a breadth-first traversal of an implicit graph on a cluster of workstations. The algorithm is a paralle...
Computer system designers often evaluate future design alternatives with detailed simulators that strive for functional fidelity (to execute relevant workloads) and performance fi...
