In the weighted paging problem there is a weight (cost) for fetching each page into the cache. We design a randomized O(log k)-competitive online algorithm for the weighted paging...
As memory speeds and bus capacitances continue to rise, external memory bus power will make up an increasing portion of the total system power budget for system-on-a-chip embedded...
In large-scale clusters and computational grids, component failures become norms instead of exceptions. Failure occurrence as well as its impact on system performance and operatio...
Fragmentation leads to unpredictable and degraded application performance. While these problems have been studied in detail for desktop filesystem workloads, this study examines n...
We perform a head-to-head comparison of the performance characteristics of a 3G network operated by a nation-wide provider and a metro-scale WiFi network operated by a commercial ...
