Most modern microprocessor-based systems provide support for superpages both at the hardware and software level. Judicious use of superpages can significantly cut down the number...
Power densities have been increasing rapidly at all levels of server systems. To counter the high temperatures resulting from these densities, systems researchers have recently st...

Instruction-set extensible processors allow an existing processor core to be extended with application-specific custom instructions. In this paper, we explore a novel application...
In this paper, we describe recent work in developing a peer-topeer collaborative environment. The study examines various locking mechanisms/policies by adjusting the granularity o...
The event driven paradigm is ubiquitous in modern software. Many texts introduce events when discussing graphical user interfaces, but the event paradigm extends well beyond that ...
