High-performance computing clusters running longlived tasks currently cannot have kernel software updates applied to them without causing system downtime. These clusters miss oppo...
OLAP queries are typically heavy-weight and ad-hoc thus requiring high storage capacity and processing power. In this paper, we address this problem using a database cluster which...

As on-chip integration matures, single-chip system designers must not only be concerned with component-level issues such as performance and power, but also with onchip system-leve...
This paper extends the Boltzmann Selection, a method in EDA with theoretical importance, from discrete domain to the continuous one. The difficulty of estimating the exact Boltzma...
