Scale and performance in a distributed file system
- ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
, 1988
"... The Andrew File System is a location-transparent distributed tile system that will eventually span more than 5000 workstations at Carnegie Mellon University. Large scale affects performance and complicates system operation. In this paper we present observations of a prototype implementation, motivat ..."

Parallel database systems: the future of high performance database systems
- COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM
, 1992
"... Parallel database machine architectures have evolved from the use of exotic hardware to a software parallel dataflow architecture based on conventional shared-nothing hardware. These new designs provide impressive speedup and scaleup when processing relational database queries. This paper reviews t ..."

Implementation and performance of Munin
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 13TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS PRINCIPLES
, 1991
"... Munin is a distributed shared memory (DSM) system that allows shared memory parallel programs to be executed efficiently on distributed memory multiprocessors. Munin is unique among existing DSM systems in its use of multiple consistency protocols and in its use of release consistency. In Munin, sha ..."

Performance Pay and Productivity
- AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW
, 2000
"... Much of the theory in personnel economics relates to effects of monetary incentives on output, but the theory was untested because appropriate data were unavailable. A new data set for the Safelite Glass Corporation tests the predictions that average productivity will rise, the firm will attract a m ..."

more able workforce, and variance in output across individuals at the firm will rise when it shifts to piece rates. In Safelite, productivity effects amount to a 44-percent increase in output per worker. This firm apparently had selected a suboptimal compensation system, as profits also increased
Understanding packet delivery performance in dense wireless sensor networks
, 2003
"... Wireless sensor networks promise fine-grain monitoring in a wide variety of environments. Many of these environments (e.g., indoor environments or habitats) can be harsh for wireless communication. From a networking perspective, the most basic aspect of wireless communication is the packet delivery ..."

A Compositional Approach to Performance Modelling
, 1996
"... Performance modelling is concerned with the capture and analysis of the dynamic behaviour of computer and communication systems. The size and complexity of many modern systems result in large, complex models. A compositional approach decomposes the system into subsystems that are smaller and more ea ..."

Improving retrieval performance by relevance feedback
- Journal of the American Society for Information Science
, 1990
"... Relevance feedback is an automatic process, introduced over 20 years ago, designed to produce improved query formulations following an initial retrieval operation. The principal relevance feedback methods described over the years are examined briefly, and evaluation data are included to demonstrate ..."

Introduction to Relevance Feedback It is well known that the original query formulation process is not transparent to most information system users. In particular
The Aurora Experimental Framework for the Performance Evaluation of Speech Recognition Systems under Noisy Conditions
- in ISCA ITRW ASR2000
, 2000
"... This paper describes a database designed to evaluate the performance of speech recognition algorithms in noisy conditions. The database may either be used to measure frontend feature extraction algorithms, using a defined HMM recognition back-end, or complete recognition systems. The source speech f ..."
