Program runtime characteristics exhibit significant variation. As microprocessor architectures become more complex, their efficiency depends on the capability of adapting with wor...
Long-latency loads are critical in today's processors due to the ever-increasing speed gap with memory. Not only do these loads block the execution of dependent instructions,...
Several manufacturers have recently announced the first simultaneous-multithreaded processors, both as single CPUs and as components of multi-CPU chips. All are small scale, compr...
Distributed systems increasingly span organizational boundaries and, with this, system and service management domains. Web services are the primary means of exposing services to c...
