Observing the workload on a computer system during a short (but not too short) time interval may lead to distributions that are significantly different from those that would be o...
Because changes to the database (DB) and workload occur during a DB system's lifetime, the physical DB design must evolve to sustain good performance. These changes are carri...
Simulation studies of Grid scheduling strategies require representative workloads to produce dependable results. Real production Grid workloads have shown diverse correlation stru...
