Faster AFS
(Center for Information Technology Integration, 1992-06-22)
The AFS Cache Manager fetches files from the AFS file server, and caches them into a local file system. Given this model, users expect reads of locally cached files to perform at local file system rates. However, read ...
An extensible probe architecture for network protocol performance measurement
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2004-01)
This paper describes the architecture, implementation, and application of Windmill, a passive network protocol performance measurement tool. Windmill enables experimenters to measure a broad range of protocol performance ...
Cache coherence requirements for interprocess rendezvous
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1990-02)
Multiprocessors in which a shared bus is used by the processor to communicate with common memory are an emerging class of machines where there is a need to support parallel programming languages. A language construct that ...
Scalable Linux Scheduling
(Center for Information Technology Integration, 2001-05-01)
For most of its existence, Linux has been used primarily as a personal desktop operating system. Yet, in recent times, its use as a cost-efficient alternative to commercial operating systems for network servers, distributed ...
Datalog vs first-order logic
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
Our main result is that every datalog query expressible in first-order logic is bounded; in terms of classical model theory it is a kind of compactness theorem for finite structures. In addition, we give some counter-examples ...
Extending NFSv4 for Petascale Data Management
(Center for Information Technology Integration, 2006-05-01)
Designed with Internet data management in mind, NFSv4 is meeting the needs of widely distributed collaborations. Anticipating terascale and petascale HPC demands, NFSv4 architects are designing pNFS, a standard extension ...
Analytic evaluation of contention protocols used in distributed real-time systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-07)
The probability of a station failing to deliver packets before their deadlines, called the probability of dynamic failure, P dyn , is an important measure for the communication subsystem of a distributed real-time system. ...
PATHALIAS or The Care and Feeding of Relative Addresses
(Center for Information Technology Integration, 1986-06)
Pathalias computes electronic mail routes in environments that mix explicit and implicit routing, as well as syntax styles. We describe the history of pathalias, its algorithms and data structures, and our design decisions ...
Predicting the Expected Behavior of Agents that Learn About Agents: The CLRI Framework
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-01)
We describe a framework and equations used to model and predict the behavior of multi-agent systems (MASs) with learning agents. A difference equation is used for calculating the progression of an agent's error in its ...
