The increasing complexity of computer networks and our increasing dependence on them means enforcing reliability requirements is both more challenging and more critical. The expan...
This paper describes httperf, a tool for measuring web server performance. It provides a flexible facility for generating various HTTP workloads and for measuring server performa...
Widely-used operating systems provide inadequate support for large-scale Internet server applications. Their algorithms and interfaces fail to e ciently support either event-drive...
We discuss the problem of detecting errors in measurements of the total delay experienced by packets transmitted through a wide-area network. We assume that we have measurements o...
Implicitcoscheduling is a distributed algorithm fortime-sharing communicating processes in a cluster of workstations. By observing and reacting to implicit information, local sche...

We demonstrate that high-level le system events exhibit selfsimilar behaviour, but only for short-term time scales of approximately under a day. We do so through the analysis of f...

This paper presents cooperative prefetching and caching — the use of network-wide global resources (memories, CPUs, and disks) to support prefetching and caching in the presence...

Modern disk drives read-ahead data and reorder incoming requests in a workload-dependent fashion. This improves their performance, but makes simple analytical models of them inade...
