Two oft-cited file systems, the Fast File System (FFS) and the Log-Structured File System (LFS), adopt two sharply different update strategies—update-in-place and update-out-of-...
Prior work has shown the value of changing application fidelity to adapt to varying resource levels in a mobile environment. Choosing the right fidelity requires us to predict i...

With the advent of chip-multiprocessors (CMPs), Thread-Level Speculation (TLS) remains a promising technique for exploiting this highly multithreaded hardware to improve the perfo...
Abstract. An efficient parallel algorithm is presented and tested for computing selected components of H−1 where H has the structure of a Hamiltonian matrix of two-dimensional la...
