Large-scale systems like BlueGene/L are susceptible to a number of software and hardware failures that can affect system performance. Periodic application checkpointing is a commo...
Plans fail for many reasons. During planner development, failure can often be traced to actions of the planner itself. Failure recovery analysis is a procedure for analyzing execu...
A large amount of empirically derived world knowledge is essential for many languageprocessing tasks, to create expectations that can help assess plausibility and guide disambigua...
As disk arrays become widely used, tools for understanding and analyzing their performance become increasingly important. In particular, performance models can be invaluable in bo...
For many applications, branch mispredictions and cache misses limit a processor’s performance to a level well below its peak instruction throughput. A small fraction of static i...
