Modern processor architectures call for software that is highly tuned to an unpredictable operating environment. Processlevel virtualization systems allow existing software to ada...
Orphan requests are a significant problem for multi-tier distributed systems since they adversely impact system correctness by violating the exactly-once semantics of application...
Cost pressure is driving vendors of safety-critical systems to integrate previously distributed systems. One natural approach we have previous introduced is On-Demand Redundancy (...

Energy is increasingly a first-order concern in computer systems. Exploiting energy-accuracy trade-offs is an attractive choice in applications that can tolerate inaccuracies. Re...

In this paper we study the impact of sharing memory resources on five Google datacenter applications: a web search engine, bigtable, content analyzer, image stitching, and protoc...

Deployment of wireless sensors in real world environments is often a frustrating experience. The quality of radio links is highly coupled to unpredictable physical environments, l...

High assurance systems used in avionics, medical implants, and cryptographic devices often rely on a small trusted base of hardware and software to manage the rest of the system. ...

With technology scaling, manufacture-time and in-field permanent faults are becoming a fundamental problem. Multi-core architectures with spares can tolerate them by detecting an...

Since 2005, processor designers have increased core counts to exploit Moore’s Law scaling, rather than focusing on single-core performance. The failure of Dennard scaling, to wh...
It is well known that optimal server placement is NP-hard. We present an approximate model for the case when both clients and servers are dense, and propose a simple server alloca...
