Each semiconductor technology generation brings us closer to the imminent processor architecture heat wall, with all its associated adverse effects on system performance and reliab...
In large storage systems, it is crucial to protect data from loss due to failures. Erasure codes lay the foundation of this protection, enabling systems to reconstruct lost data w...
The most commonly used request processing model in multithreaded web servers is thread-per-request, in which an individual thread is bound to serve each web request. However, with...
Despite the reliability of modern disks, recent studies have made it clear that a new class of faults, Undetected Disk Errors (UDEs) also known as silent data corruption events, b...

—The performance of a cooperative network with Cooperative Maximal Ratio Combining (C-MRC) is analyzed. To this end, we propose a heuristic approximation to the total received SN...
Abstract—The Nakagami-lognormal distribution is the commonly used composite distribution for modeling multipath fading and shadowing. In this paper1 , simple and new form of dist...
