Benchmarking has become one of the most important methods for quantitative performance
evaluation of processor and computer system designs. Benchmarking of modern …

This paper presents and characterizes the Princeton Application Repository for Shared-
Memory Computers (PARSEC), a benchmark suite for studies of Chip-Multiprocessors …

Locating moving objects in a video sequence is the first step of many computer vision
applications. Among the various motion-detection techniques, background subtraction …

This paper is motivated by the difficulty in writing correct high-performance programs. Writing
shared-memory multi-threaded programs imposes a complex trade-off between …

We develop an availability solution, called SafetyNet, that uses a unified, lightweight
checkpoint/recovery mechanism to support multiple long-latency fault detection schemes. At …

Multi-threaded commercial workloads implement many important Internet services.
Consequently, these workloads are increasingly used to evaluate the performance of …

This paper presents ReVive, a novel general-purpose rollback recovery mechanism for
shared-memory multiprocessors. ReVive carefully balances the conflicting requirements of …

To meet the demand for more powerful high-performance shared-memory servers,
multiprocessor systems must incorporate efficient and scalable cache coherence protocols …

Multiprocessor deterministic replay has many potential uses in the era of multicore
computing, including enhanced debugging, fault tolerance, and intrusion detection. While …

The new focus on commercial workloads in simulation studies of server systems has caused
a drastic increase in the complexity and decrease in the speed of simulation tools. The …
