The widespread use of GUIs for interacting with software is leading to the construction of
more and more complex GUIs. With the growing complexity comes challenges in testing the …

We investigate how to manage an interactive service, where response time is a critical
performance metric, to maximize the benefits of green energy produced from variable …

Computing researchers have long focused on improving energy-efficiency under the implicit
assumption that all energy is created equal. Yet, this assumption is actually incorrect …

Abstract Background/Objectives: To analyze, find and interpret the current challenges in
Distributed File Systems for research. Method/Statistical Analysis: With the immense growth …

Energy-efficiency has long been considered a “first class” metric for evaluating computer
system performance. A high energy-efficiency translates into more work done per unit of …

While there has been significant prior research on optimizing the energy-efficiency of
parallel applications, there has been much less on optimizing them for green energy …

While there has been significant prior research on improving the energy-efficiency of parallel
applications, there has been much less on optimizing them for green energy sources, which …

abstract Understanding the power dissipation behavior of an application/workload is the key
to writing power-efficient software and designing energy-efficient computer systems. Power …

As shown in recent studies, video streaming is by far the biggest category of backbone
Internet traffic in the US. As a measure to reduce the cost of highly over-provisioned physical …

Datacenters, which are large server farms, host cloud applications, providing services
ranging from search engines to social networks and video streaming services. Such …
