A trace of a workload’s system calls can be obtained with minimal interference, and can be used to drive repeatable experiments to evaluate system configuration alternatives. R...
With the rapid advances in Internet and Grid technique, an increasing number of applications will involve computing systems. These applications in turn create an increasing demand ...
A recent trend in modern high performance computing (HPC) system architectures employs “lean” compute nodes running a lightweight operating system (OS). Certain parts of the OS...
The rise of multi-core processors has shifted performance efforts towards parallel programs. However, single-threaded code, whether from legacy programs or ones difficult to para...
The performance of the protocol stack implementation of an operating system can greatly impact the performance of networked applications that run on it. In this paper, we present a...
