Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) is an emerging type of memory device that provides fast, byte-addressable, and high-capacity durable storage. NVM sits on the memory bus and allows durable data structures designs similar to the in-memory equivalent ones. Expensiv ...
In a virtualized environment, device drivers are often run inside a virtual machine (VM) rather than in the hypervisor. Doing so protects the hypervisor from bugs in the driver, and also allows the reuse of the device driver and its support infrastructure ...
Debugging real systems is hard, requires deep knowledge of the code, and is time-consuming. Bug reports rarely provide sufficient information, thus forcing developers to turn into detectives searching for an explanation of how the program could have arrive ...
GPUs are becoming increasingly popular in large scale data center installations due to their strong, embarrassingly parallel, processing capabilities. Data management systems are riding the wave by using GPUs to accelerate query execution, mainly for analy ...
