- JOURNAL OF FINANCE
, 1968
"... In this paper I derive a risk-adjusted measure of portfolio performance (now known as "Jensen's Alpha") that estimates how much a manager's forecasting ability contributes to the fund's returns. The measure is based on the theory of the pricing of capital assets by Sharpe (1 ..."

Costly search and mutual fund flows
- Journal of Finance
, 1998
"... This paper studies the flows of funds into and out of equity mutual funds. Consumers base their fund purchase decisions on prior performance information, but do so asymmetrically, investing disproportionately more in funds that performed very well the prior period. Search costs seem to be an importa ..."

costs. ALTHOUGH MUCH ACADEMIC RESEARCH on mutual funds addresses issues of performance measurement and attribution, we can learn more from this industry than whether fund managers can consistently earn risk-adjusted excess returns. Researchers studying funds have shed light on how incentives affect fund
Xen and the art of virtualization
- IN SOSP
, 2003
"... Numerous systems have been designed which use virtualization to subdivide the ample resources of a modern computer. Some require specialized hardware, or cannot support commodity operating systems. Some target 100 % binary compatibility at the expense of performance. Others sacrifice security or fun ..."

or functionality for speed. Few offer resource isolation or performance guarantees; most provide only best-effort provisioning, risking denial of service. This paper presents Xen, an x86 virtual machine monitor which allows multiple commodity operating systems to share conventional hardware in a safe and resource
Risk Management
"... We present a simple, but powerful framework for software risk management. The framework synthesizes, refines, and extends current approaches to managing software risks. We illustrate its usefulness through an empirical analysis of two software development episodes involving high risks. The fram ..."

Conditional value-at-risk for general loss distributions
- Journal of Banking and Finance
, 2002
"... Abstract. Fundamental properties of conditional value-at-risk, as a measure of risk with significant advantages over value-at-risk, are derived for loss distributions in finance that can involve discreetness. Such distributions are of particular importance in applications because of the prevalence o ..."

Power provisioning for a warehousesized computer,”
- ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News,
, 2007
"... ABSTRACT Large-scale Internet services require a computing infrastructure that can be appropriately described as a warehouse-sized computing system. The cost of building datacenter facilities capable of delivering a given power capacity to such a computer can rival the recurring energy consumption ..."

We find that the opportunities for power and energy savings are significant, but greater at the cluster-level (thousands of servers) than
