In the past decade, processor speed has become significantly faster than memory speed. Small, fast cache memories are designed to overcome this discrepancy, but they are only effe...
The divide-and-conquer principle is a majoi paradigm of algorithms design. Corresponding cost functions satisfy recurrences that directly reflect the decomposition mechanism used i...
Given the decreasing cost of non-volatile RAM (NVRAM), by the late 1990's it will be feasible for most workstations to include a megabyte or more of NVRAM, enabling the desig...

We describe and evaluate a strategy for declustering the parity encoding in a redundant disk array. This declustered parity organization balances cost against data reliability and...
In this paper we introduce the ConSet communication model for distributed memory parallel computers. The communication needs of an application program can be satisfied by some ar...
