Minimizing completion time of a program by checkpointing and rejuvenation
ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review (SIGMETRICS), Volume 24, Issue 1Pages 252–261https://doi.org/10.1145/233008.233050Checkpointing with rollback-recovery is a well known technique to reduce the completion time of a program in the presence of failures. While checkpointing is corrective in nature, rejuvenation refers to preventive maintenance of software aimed to reduce ...

SM-prof: a tool to visualise and find cache coherence performance bottlenecks in multiprocessor programs
ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review (SIGMETRICS), Volume 23, Issue 1Pages 178–187https://doi.org/10.1145/223586.223607Cache misses due to coherence actions are often the major source for performance degradation in cache coherent multiprocessors. It is often difficult for the programmer to take cache coherence into account when writing the program since the resulting ...

A technique for integrating simulation and system design
ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review (SIGMETRICS), Volume 8, Issue 3Pages 163–172https://doi.org/10.1145/1009373.805457A technique for simulating incomplete systems is given which allows performance prediction during system design. This technique, called integrated simulation, allows the system design to itself be a simulation model, thus avoiding the overhead of ...
