Linked data structure (LDS) accesses are critical to the performance of many large scale applications. Techniques have been proposed to prefetch such accesses. Unfortunately, many...
Emerging large scale utility computing systems like Grids promise computing and storage to be provided to end users as a utility. System management services deployed in the middle...
Speculative computing is a technique to improve the execution time of certain applications by starting some computations before it is known that the computations are required. A s...
This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
The ARTiS system, a real-time extension of the GNU/Linux scheduler dedicated to SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processors) systems is proposed. ARTiS exploits the SMP architecture to guarant...
