The prediction of query performance is an interesting and important issue in Information Retrieval (IR). Current predictors involve the use of relevance scores, which are time-cons...
In this paper we present a formal approach to analyse performance for distributed systems, which is integrated in the early stages of the software development process. We propose ...
Transactional memory promises to make parallel programming easier than with fine-grained locking, while performing just as well. This performance claim is not always borne out bec...
Abstract. Instruction hints have become an important way to communicate compile-time information to the hardware. They can be generated by the compiler and the post-link optimizer ...
An analytical performance model for out of order issue superscalar micro-processors is presented. This model quantifies the performance impacts of micro-architecture design option...
