of the kernel abstractions and system servers and describe in detail the read() and write() paths of these two systems. We then break down their read() and write() performance and ...
This paper evaluates the performance of three popular versions of the UNIX operating system on the x86 architecture: Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris. We evaluate the systems using fre...
High-performance I/O systems depend on prefetching and caching in order to deliver good performance to applications. These two techniques have generally been considered in isolati...

This paper discusses the design, development, and use of a performance monitoring tool for Distributed Interactive Simulations (DIS). A typical DIS environment consists of hundred...
A method for automatically improving the performance of construction operations was developed by the integration of computer simulation and belief networks. The simulation model i...
Clusters of workstations are becoming popular platforms for parallel computing, but performance on these systems is more complex and harder to predict than on traditional parallel...
