As random access memory gets cheaper, it becomes increasingly affordable to build computers with large main memories. We consider decision support workloads within the context of...
A "plan diagram" is a pictorial enumeration of the execution plan choices of a database query optimizer over the relational selectivity space. We have shown recently tha...
Branch prediction has enabled microprocessors to increase instruction level parallelism (ILP) by allowing programs to speculatively execute beyond control boundaries. Although spe...
Temperature is a dominant factor in the performance, reliability, and leakage power consumption of modern processors. As a result, increasing numbers of researchers evaluate therm...

Abstract— We relax the monotonicity requirement of Lyapunov’s theorem to enlarge the class of functions that can provide certificates of stability. To this end, we propose two...
