We consider the impact of different communication architectures on the performability (performance + availability) of cluster-based servers. In particular, we use a combination of ...
This paper identifies node affinity as an important property for scalable general-purpose locks. Nonuniform communication architectures (NUCAs), for example CCNUMAs built from a f...
With the scaling of technology and the need for higher performance and more functionality, power dissipation is becoming a major bottleneck for microprocessor designs. Pipeline ba...

Due to cost, time, and flexibility constraints, simulators are often used to explore the design space when developing a new processor architecture, as well as when evaluating the ...
Mobile and wearable computers present input/output problems due to limited screen space and interaction techniques. When mobile, users typically focus their visual attention on na...
