Online service providers aim to provide good performance for an increasingly diverse set of applications and services. One of the most effective ways to improve service performance is to replicate the service closer to the end users. Replication alone, ...

We develop a reuse distance/stack distance based analytical modeling framework for efficient, online prediction of cache performance for a range of cache configurations and replacement policies LRU, PLRU, RANDOM, NMRU. Our framework unifies existing ...

Different from the IP-based routers, Named Data Networking routers forward packets by content names, which consist of characters and have variable and unbounded length. This kind of complex name constitution plus the huge-sized name routing table makes ...

Storage applications leveraging Solid State Disk (SSD) technology are being widely deployed in diverse computing systems. These applications accelerate system performance by exploiting several SSD-specific characteristics. However, modern SSDs have ...

Solid state drives (SSDs) have seen wide deployment in mobiles, desktops,and data centers due to their high I/O performance and low energy consumption. As SSDs write data out-of-place, garbage collection (GC) is required to erase and reclaim space with ...

Recently, graphics processing units (GPUs) have opened up new opportunities for speeding up general-purpose parallel applications due to their massive computational power and up to hundreds of thousands of threads enabled by programming models such as ...
