As grid computation systems become larger and more complex, manually diagnosing failures in jobs becomes impractical. Recently, machine-learning techniques have been proposed to d...
Over the last decades Internet traffic has grown dramatically. Besides the number of transfers, data sizes have risen as well. Traditional transfer protocols do not adapt to this...
—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
Over the last couple of years, "Cloud Computing" or "Elastic Computing" has emerged as a compelling and successful paradigm for internet scale computing. One o...
Mispredicted branches and loads that miss in the cache cause the majority of retirement stalls experienced by sequential processors; we call these critical instructions. Despite t...
