Hydra is a chip multiprocessor (CMP) with integrated support for thread-level speculation. Thread-level speculation provides a way to parallelize sequential programs without the n...
PODOS is a performance oriented distributed operating system being developed to harness the performance capabilities of a cluster computing environment. In order to address the gr...
In this paper we compare performance of several heuristics in generating informative generic/query-oriented extracts for newspaper articles in order to learn how topic prominence ...
Abstract. Conventional performance environments are based on pro ling and event instrumentation. It becomes problematic as parallel systems scale to hundreds of nodes and beyond. A...

Cooperative caches offer huge amounts of caching memory that is not always used as well as it could be. We might find blocks in the cache that have not been requested for many hou...
Abstract--As a growing number of web sites introduce mirrors to increase throughput, the challenge for clients becomes determining which mirror will offer the best performance when...
: Networks of Workstations (NOW) have become an attractive alternative platform for high performance computing. Due to the commodity nature of workstations and interconnects and du...

Previous studies on safety of program transformations with respect to performance considered two criteria: preserving performance within a constant factor and preserving complexit...
This paper presents an approach to designing interactive systems that enables critical performance parameters to be identified and models of performance to be constructed. The met...
