The foremost goal of superscalar processor design is to increase performance through the exploitation of instruction-level parallelism (ILP). Previous studies have shown that spec...
TCP has been the dominant transport protocol over the global Internet, and its performance over a hybrid wireless/wireline network has attracted much attention in recent years. Thi...
We consider the problem of localizing network performance bottlenecks and evaluate how various optimization techniques developed for reconstructing link delays perform on this dec...
Emergence of chip multiprocessor systems has dramatically increased the performance potential of computer systems. Since the amount of exploited parallelism is directly influenced ...
Device drivers are a significant source of system instability. In this paper, we make the case for running device drivers at user-level to improve robustness and resource managemen...
