Abstract--Parallel programming is hard, because it is impractical to test all possible thread interleavings. One promising approach to improve a multi-threaded program's relia...
As main memory capacity increases, more of the database read requests will be satis ed from the bu er system. Consequently, the amount of disk write operations relative to disk re...
