1 Switched system-area networks enable thousands of storage devices to be shared and directly accessed by end hosts, promising databases and filesystems highly scalable, reliable ...
As the speed gap between CPU and memory widens, memory hierarchy has become the primary factor limiting program performance. Until now, the principal focus of hardware and softwar...
Conventional concurrency control protocols are inapplicable in mobile computing environments due to a number of constraints of wireless communications. In this paper, we design a p...
