ALPS is a per-application user-level proportional-share scheduler that operates with low overhead and without any special kernel support. ALPS is useful to a range of applications...
It is well known that in a typical real-time system, certain parameters, such as the execution time of a job, are not fixed numbers. In such systems, it is common to characterize ...
In this paper, we address the problem of designing a scalable, accurate query processor for peerto-peer filesharing and similar distributed keyword search systems. Using a global...

Query scheduling plays an important role when systems are faced with limited resources and high workloads. It becomes even more relevant for servers applying multiple query optimi...
Both inherently sequential code and limitations of analysis techniques prevent full parallelization of many applications by parallelizing compilers. Amdahl's Law tells us tha...
