Exploiting spatial locality is critical for a disk scheduler to achieve high throughput. Because of the high cost of disk head seeks and the non-preemptible nature of request serv...
In a virtualized environment, device drivers are often run inside a virtual machine (VM) rather than in the hypervisor, for reasons of safety and reduction in software engineering...
Cyber security experiments with potentially malicious software can possibly damage the testbed environment and "escape" into the Internet. Due to this security concern, ...
Inverse multiplexing, or network striping, allows the construction of a high-bandwidth virtual channel from a collection of multiple low-bandwidth network channels. Striping syste...
Discrete-event packet-level network simulation is well-known and widely used. Network emulation is a hybrid approach that combines real elements of a deployed networked applicatio...
