We introduce dependence-based pre-computation as a complement to history-based target prediction schemes. We present pre-computation in the context of virtual function calls (v-ca...
A key challenge in achieving high performance on software DSM systems is overcoming their relatively large communication latencies. In this paper, we consider two techniques which...
Conventional resource management systems use a system model to describe resources and a centralized scheduler to control their allocation. We argue that this paradigm does not ada...
The potential for faults in distributed computing systems is a significant complicating factor for application developers. While a variety of techniques exist for detecting and co...

In this paper, we argue for the power of providing a common set of OS services to wide area applications, including mechanisms for resource discovery, a global namespace, remote p...
