In the 1980's, Bennett introduced computational depth as a formal measure of the amount of computational history that is evident in an object's structure. In particular,...
Branch prediction is an important mechanism in modern microprocessor design. The focus of research in this area has been on designing new branch prediction schemes. In contrast, v...
: One of the fundamental limits to high-performance, high-reliability file systems is memory's vulnerability to system crashes. Because memory is viewed as unsafe, systems per...
