We propose, and justify, an economic theory to guide memory system design, operation, and analysis. Our theory treats memory random-access latency, and its cost per installed mega...
In recent years the High Performance Computing (HPC) industry has benefited from the development of higher density multi-core processors. With recent chips capable of executing u...

The current trend in HPC hardware is towards clusters of shared-memory (SMP) compute nodes. For applications developers the major question is how best to program these SMP cluster...
We present Byzantine Disk Paxos, an asynchronous shared-memory consensus algorithm that uses a collection of n > 3t disks, t of which may fail by becoming non-responsive or arb...
