Flash Memory based Solid State Drive (SSD) has been called a “pivotal technology” that could revolutionize data storage systems. Since SSD shares a common interface with the t...
This paper investigates the performance of task assignment policies for server farms, as the variability of job sizes (service demands) approaches infinity. Our results reveal th...

We consider the problem of admission control in resource sharing systems, such as web servers and transaction processing systems, when the job size distribution has high variabili...
Errors in dynamic random access memory (DRAM) are a common form of hardware failure in modern compute clusters. Failures are costly both in terms of hardware replacement costs and...
Many emerging scientific and industrial applications require transferring multiple Tbytes of data on a daily basis. Examples include pushing scientific data from particle accele...
