This paper investigates how the through put of a general fork-join queueing network with blocking behaves as the number of nodes increases to infinity while the processing speed and buffer space of each node stay unchanged. The problem is motivated by ...

The performance of a Web system can be greatly improved by tuning its configuration parameters. However, finding the optimal configuration has been a time-consuming task due to the long measurement time needed to evaluate the performance of a given ...

Sketches are compact data structures that can be used to estimate properties of the original data in building large-scale search engines and data analysis systems. Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown that sketches constructed from ...
