New high-speed networks greatly encourage the use of network memory as a cache for virtual memory and file pages, thereby reducing the need for disk access. Becausepages are the f...
To achieve optimal performance, garbage-collected applications must balance the sizes of their heaps dynamically. Sizing the heap too small can reduce throughput by increasing the...

As mobile phones become increasingly multifunctional, the number and size of applications installed in phones are rapidly increasing. Consequently, mobile phones require more hard...
A trace of a workload’s system calls can be obtained with minimal interference, and can be used to drive repeatable experiments to evaluate system configuration alternatives. R...
