The growing dominance of wire delays at future technology points renders a microprocessor communication-bound. Clustered microarchitectures allow most dependence chains to execute...
Cardinality estimation is the problem of estimating the number of tuples returned by a query; it is a fundamentally important task in data management, used in query optimization, ...
In a 64-bit processor, many of the data values actually used in computations require much narrower data-widths. In this study, we demonstrate that instruction data-widths exhibit ...
For many large-scale combinatorial search/optimization problems, meta-heuristic algorithms face noisy objective functions, coupled with computationally expensive evaluation times....
Proxy caches have become a central mechanism for reducing the latency of web document retrieval. While caching alone reduces latency for previously requested documents, web docume...
