An open architecture tester allows a third party to develop its own instrument. Such a tester must be open in the sense that it needs to be able to integrate this instrument with ...
The scheduler is a key component in determining the overall performance of a parallel computer, and as we show here, the schedulers in wide use today exhibit large unexplained gap...
Overload can reduce the overall performance of a computer system up to a point where the whole service might collapse. Thus, for example the load on a server must be controlled to...
Existing metrics for dynamic optimisation are designed primarily to rate an algorithm’s overall performance. These metrics show whether one algorithm is better than another, but...
Most recent embedded systems use caches to improve their average performance. Current timing analyses are able to compute safe timing guarantees for these systems, if tasks are ru...
In an effort to improve performance of congested gateways, a new Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithm, Adaptive Virtual Queue Random Early Detection (AVQRED), was developed by ...
