Parallel algorithm designers need computational models that take first order system costs into account, but are also simple enough to use in practice. This paper introduces the L...
Symbiotic job scheduling boosts simultaneous multithreading (SMT) processor performance by co-scheduling jobs that have ‘compatible’ demands on the processor’s shared resour...
Modern disk drives read-ahead data and reorder incoming requests in a workload-dependent fashion. This improves their performance, but makes simple analytical models of them inade...

Abstract For many centuries scientists have wondered how the human brain represents thoughts in terms of the underlying biology of neural activity. Philosophers, linguists, cogniti...
Recent research in sensor networks has raised security issues for small embedded devices. Security concerns are motivated by the deployment of a large number of sensory devices in...
