We investigate the problem of ranking answers to a database query when many tuples are returned. We adapt and apply principles of probabilistic models from Information Retrieval f...
This paper explores microarchitecture models for a simultaneous multithreaded processor with multimedia enhancements. We enhance a wide-issue superscalar processor by the simultan...
: Update anywhere-anytime-anyway transactional replication has unstable behavior as the workload scales up: a ten-fold increase in nodes and traffic gives a thousand fold increase ...
