User Profile and Workload Analysis for Local Area Networks
(Center for Information Technology Integration, 1990-06-15)
Performance analysis tools for computer networks need accurate and comprehensive estimates of user workload. An approach is presented that estimates network impact for a wide variety of end user types and applications that ...
AFS Write Performance - A Campaign Paper
(Center for Information Technology Integration, 1992-12-10)
AFS writes are slow. Part of the reason they appear slow is that opportunities to overlap writing with computation are often not used. This paper describes some of these lost opportunities, and advocates (with some gestures ...
Integrating reliable memory in databases
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1998-08)
Recent results in the Rio project at the University of Michigan show that it is possible to create an area of main memory that is as safe as disk from operating system crashes. This paper explores how to integrate the ...
Production model based digital video segmentation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-03)
Effective and efficient tools for segmenting and content-based indexing of digital video are essential to allow easy access to video-based information. Most existing segmentation techniques do not use explicit models of ...
Residence probability control
(Elsevier, 1990)
The problem of controlling the residence probability of linear stochastic systems in a bounded domain is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a controller that makes the residence probability ...
Multi-level Caching in Distributed File Systems
(Center for Information Technology Integration, 1991-08-16)
We are investigating the potential for intermediate file servers to address scaling problems in increasingly large distributed file systems. To this end, we have run trace-driven simulations based on data from DEC-SRC and ...
Modeling and Measurement of the PeopleSoft Multi-Tier Remote Computing Application
(Center for Information Technology Integration, 1997-12)
The Center for Information Technology Integration has undertaken a study of the potential impact of PeopleSoft software on U-M production computing environments, focusing on the measurement and modeling of the Peoplesoft ...
Evaluating the Network System Corporation Data Exchange Unit Performance under AIX/370
(Center for Information Technology Integration, 1992-06-09)
This report presents the results of tests run to evaluate the performance of Network Systems Corporation's Data Exchange Unit (DXU) channel-to-FDDI interface.
On Dependability in Distributed Databases
(Center for Information Technology Integration, 1992-09)
Distributed database availability, reliability, and mean transaction completion time are derived for repairable database systems in which each component is continuously available for repair. Reliability is the probability ...
