Device drivers typically execute in supervisor mode and thus must be fully trusted. This paper describes how to move them out of the trusted computing base, by running them withou...
Concurrency is pervasive in large systems. Unexpected interference among threads often results in "Heisenbugs" that are extremely difficult to reproduce and eliminate. W...
Library-based record and replay tools aim to reproduce an application's execution by recording the results of selected functions in a log and during replay returning the resu...

We present a new scheme for performing binary translation that produces code comparable to or better than existing binary translators with much less engineering effort. Instead of...
We present Quanto, a network-wide time and energy profiler for embedded network devices. By combining well-defined interfaces for hardware power states, fast high-resolution energ...

We introduce range writes, a simple but powerful change to the disk interface that removes the need for file system micromanagement of block placement. By allowing a file system t...
