It is widely accepted that transient failures will appear more frequently in chips designed in the near future due to several factors such as the increased integration scale. On t...
Modern out-of-order processors tolerate long latency memory operations by supporting a large number of inflight instructions. This is particularly useful in numerical applications...
Exact computation for aggregate queries usually requires large amounts of memory ? constrained in data-streaming ? or communication ? constrained in distributed computation ? and ...
Most relational query optimizers make use of information about the costs of accessing tuples and data structures on various storage devices. This information can at times be off b...
