Examining Criticality of Blackouts in Power System Models with Cascading Events
As power system loading increases, larger blackouts due to cascading outages become more likely. We investigate a critical loading at which the average size of blackouts increases...

Modeling Set Associative Caches Behavior for Irregular Computations
While much work has been devoted to the study of cache behavior during the execution of codes with regular access patterns, little attention has been paid to irregular codes. An i...

Approximate Medians and other Quantiles in One Pass and with Limited Memory
We present new algorithms for computing approximate quantiles of large datasets in a single pass. The approximation guarantees are explicit, and apply without regard to the value ...

Choosing a Testing Method to Deliver Reliability
Testing methods are compared in a model where program failures are detected and the software changed to eliminate them. The question considered is whether it is better to use test...
