In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
Disk performance is increasingly limited by its head positioning latencies, i.e., seek time and rotational delay. To reduce the head positioning latencies, we propose a novel tech...
Many internet and enterprise applications now not only use XML (eXtensible Markup Language) as a medium for communication but also for storing their data either temporarily for an...
This paper proposes an efficient hardware/software system that significantly enhances software security through diversified replication on multi-cores. Recent studies show that a ...
Determinism is mandatory for replicating distributed objects with strict consistency guarantees. Multithreaded execution of method invocations is a source of nondeterminism, but h...
