In this paper we propose a novel software-only distributed sharedmemory system (SW-DSM), the Affinity Entry Consistency (AEC) protocol. The protocol is based on Entry Consistency ...
nt formal speci cations of a new abstraction, weak sets, which can be used to alleviate high latencies when retrieving data from a wide-area information system like the World Wide...
An operating system’s readahead and buffer-cache behaviors can significantly impact application performance; most often these better performance, but occasionally they worsen it...
Pipeline Spectroscopy is a new technique that allows us to measure the cost of each cache miss. The cost of a miss is displayed (graphed) as a histogram, which represents a precis...
