Key-value stores (eg, Memcached) and web servers (eg, NGINX) are widely used by cloud
providers. As interactive services, they have strict service-level objectives, with typical 99 th …

A multi-computer system (MCS) offers the high speed and throughput needed in solving
computing-intensive problems. Two main components constitute a MCS. These are the …

RISC-V is a new instruction set architecture (ISA) that has emerged in recent years.
Compared with previous computer instruction architectures, RISC-V has outstanding …

This paper presents the first comprehensive study of the performance, power and energy
consumption of the Applied-Micro X-Gene, the first commercially available 64-bit ARMv8 …

This paper provides a snapshot summary of the trends in the area of micro-server
development and their application in the broader enterprise and cloud markets. Focusing on …

In addition to GPUs that see increasingly widespread use for general-purpose computing,
special-purpose accelerators are widely used for their high efficiency and low power …

We introduce two emptiness checks for buchi automata whose states represent sets that
may include each other. The first is equivalent to a traditional emptiness check but uses …

Automatic estimation of 3D shape similarity from video is a very important factor for human
action analysis, but also a challenging task due to variations in body topology and the high …

Modern datacenters host many interactive, latency-critical (LC) services, such as web
search, social networking, online maps, etc. These services have strict quality-of-service …

The" Internet of Things" requires new multicore computing devices with very high energy-
efficiency. We propose an improved architecture of these embedded devices with emphasis …
