Although compile-time optimizations generally improve program performance, degradations caused by individual techniques are to be expected. One promising research direction to ove...
In sampling based hotspot detection, performance engineers sample the running program periodically and record the Instruction Pointer (IP) addresses at the sampling. Empirically, f...
This paper presents a surprising result: changing a seemingly innocuous aspect of an experimental setup can cause a systems researcher to draw wrong conclusions from an experiment...
Modeling and analysis of program behavior are at the foundation of computer system design and optimization. As computer systems become more adaptive, their efficiency increasingly...
Modern memory systems play a critical role in the performance of applications, but a detailed understanding of the application behavior in the memory system is not trivial to atta...
