Unbeknownst to many computer users, their machines are running malware. Others are aware that strange software inhabits their machine, but cannot get rid of it. In this paper, we ...
Cycles per Instruction (CPI) stacks break down processor execution time into a baseline CPI plus a number of miss event CPI components. CPI breakdowns can be very helpful in gaini...
Approximately 70% of the source code of a software system consists of identifiers. Hence, the names chosen as identifiers are of paramount importance for the readability of comp...
