Obtaining representative and concise I/O workloads for the purpose of projecting the performance of storage systems remains a challenge due to the complex nature of I/O behaviors....
We present and validate an enhanced analytical queueing network model of zoned RAID. The model focuses on RAID levels 01 and 5, and yields the distribution of I/O request response...

Manually tuning tens to hundreds of configuration parameters in a complex software system like a database or an application server is an arduous task. Recent work has looked into ...
We present active measurement results from a commercial IEEE 802.16/WiMAX-based network, with primary focus on TCP performance. We compare four TCP variants, namely New Reno, Cubi...

Commercial servers, such as database or application servers, often attempt to improve performance via multithreading. Improper multi-threading architectures can incur contention, ...
We evaluate the reliability of storage system schemes consisting of an equal numbers of data disks and parity disks where each parity disk contains the exclusive or (XOR) of two o...
In this paper we present a centralized flow control scheme in NoCs in the presence of both elastic and streaming flow traffic paradigms. We model the desired Best Effort (BE) sour...
Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimizing the lifetime of a mobile ad hoc network at a given degree k of connectivity by minimizing power consumption. Our p...
Galois field implementations are central to the design of many reliable and secure systems, with many systems implementing them in software. The two most common Galois field opera...
