This paper evaluates the tradeoffs involved in the design of the software-extended memory system of Alewife, a multiprocessor architecturethat implements coherentsharedmemorythrou...
Multiple issue of instructions occurs in superscalar and VLIW machines. This paper investigates a third type of machine design, which combines the advantages of code compatibility...
The Wizard of Oz (WOz) technique is an experimental evaluation mechanism. It allows the observation of a user operating an apparently fully functioning system whose missing service...
Derived horizontal fragmentation is one of the main database distribution design techniques. Unlike primary horizontal fragmentation, the decision of derived horizontal fragmentat...
The early success of link-based ranking algorithms was predicated on the assumption that links imply merit of the target pages. However, today many links exist for purposes other ...
