We describe a method for performance analysis of large software systems that combines a fast instruction-set simulator with off-line detailed analysis of segments of the execution...
Mobile computers often benefit from software which adapts to their location. For example, a computer might be backed up when at the office, or the default printer might always be ...
The exokernel operating system architecture safely gives untrusted software efficient control over hardware and software resources by separating management from protection. This ...

We discuss some of the difficulties present in trace collection and trace-driven cache simulation. We then describe our multiprocessor tracing technique and verify that it accurat...
Many engineering disciplines can profitably use large high-resolution geometric models whose computational requirements exceed current computer hardware capacities. This paper pre...
