Several recent studies identify the memory system as the most frequent source of hardware failures in commercial servers. Techniques to protect the memory system from failures must continue to service memory requests, despite hardware failures. Furthermore ...
The spectrum of deployed wireless cellular communication systems is found to be under-utilized, even though licensed spectrum is at a premium. In this paper, we design a system with an ad hoc overlay network, which we denote as the secondary system (SEC), ...
Novel reconfigurable System-on-Chip (SoC) devices offer combining software with application-specific hardware accelerators to speed up applications. However, by mixing user software and user hardware, principal programming abstractions and system-software ...
In the moderate magneticfield of TCV (1.5T), the recently installed X3 system (3 gyrotrons @118 GHz, 0.45 MW/each, 2s) broadens the operational space with the possibility of heating plasmas at high density, well above the cutoff density of the X2 system (X ...
Mobility in ad hoc networks causes frequent link failures, which in turn causes packet losses. TCP attributes these packet losses to congestion. This incorrect inference results in frequent TCP re-transmission time-outs and therefore a degradation in TCP p ...
The synthesis of [PPN][IrRu3(CO)13] and [PPN][IrOs3(CO)13] from the reaction of [PPN][Ir(CO)4] with M3(CO)12 (M = Ru or Os) is discussed. [PPN][IrRu3(CO)13] is a red-brown microcryst. powder, while [PPN][IrOs3(CO)13] is an orange-red microcryst. powder. Bo ...
Just like Remote Procedure Call (RPC) turned out to be a very effective OS abstraction in building client-server applications over LANs, Type-based Publish-Subscribe (TPS) can be viewed as a high-level candidate OS abstraction for building Peer-to-Peer (P2 ...
[1] We present new measurements of Os-186/Os-188 and Os-187/Os-188 in 10 Os-rich platinum group element (PGE) alloys from placer deposits formed by the mechanical erosion of peridotite-bearing ophiolites in the Klamath and Siskiyou Mountains in northern Ca ...
Recent theoretical results show that it is optimal to allow interfering sources to transmit simultaneously as long as they are outside a well-defined exclusion region around a destination and to adapt the rate to interference. In contrast, interference fro ...
Contemporary software systems are beset by problems that create challenges and opportunities for broad new OS research. To illustrate, we describe five areas where broad OS research could significantly improve the current user experience. These areas are d ...
