Observing the workload on a computer system during a short (but not too short) time interval may lead to distributions that are significantly different from those that would be o...
Message-oriented middleware (MOM) is at the core of a vast number of financial services and telco applications, and is gaining increasing traction in other industries, such as man...

Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
We present a lightweight scheme for watermarking or annotating video clips with information describing the workload that would be incurred while decoding the clip. This informatio...
This paper characterizes the workload seen at the storage subsystem of an e-commerce system. Measurements are conducted on multi-tiered systems running three different benchmarks,...
Although the best processor design for executing a specific workload does depend on the characteristics of the workload, it can not be determined without factoring-in the effect o...
In this paper we introduce a new approach to the consolidation strategy of a data center that allows an important reduction in the amount of active nodes required to process a het...
