Many overload control mechanisms for Web based applications aim to prevent overload by setting limits on factors such as admitted load, number of server threads, buffer size. For ...
This paper quantifies the performance of typical functional unit interface designs in single-chip systems. We introduce a specific equation to guide the design of optimal module i...
fipical translation lookaside buffers (TLBs)can map a far smaller region of memory than application footprints demand, and the cost of handling TLB misses therefore limits the per...
