One way to provide fault isolation among cooperating software modules is to place each in
its own address space. However, for tightly-coupled modules, this solution incurs prohibitive …

Daily human energy requirements calculated from separate components of energy
expenditure are inaccurate and usually in poor agreement with measured energy intakes. …

Current technology trends make it possible to build communication networks that can support
high-performance distributed computing. This paper describes issues in the design of a …

Networks of workstations are poised to become the primary computing infrastructure for
science and engineering. NOWs may dramatically improve virtual memory and file system …

Most shared-memory multiprocessor architectures provide hardware support for making
mutually exclusive accesses to shared data structures. Thii support usually consists of …

In this paper, we describe the collection and analysis of file system traces from a variety of
different environments, including both UNIX and NT systems, clients and servers, and …

6. Conclusions The advent of high-speed networks provides the opportunity for clients to
work closely together to significantly improve the performance of file systems. We have …

In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for network file system design, serverless network,
file systems. While traditional netwc~ rk file systems rely on a central server machine, a …

Threads are the vehicle for concurrency in many approaches to parallel programming. Threads
can be supported either by the operating system kernel or by user-level library code in …

Threads are the vehicle for concurrency in many approaches to parallel programming. Threads
separate the notion of a sequential execution stream from the other aspects of traditional …
