We propose a method to reuse unmodified device drivers and to improve system
dependability using virtual machines. We run the unmodified device driver, with its original …

Applications that use large data sets frequently exhibit poor performance because the size of
their working set exceeds the real memory, causing excess page faults, and ultimately …

Conventional virtual memory (VM) frameworks enable a virtual address to flexibly map to
any physical address. This flexibility necessitates large data structures to store virtual-to …

Existing memory reclamation policies on mobile devices may be no longer valid because
they have negative effects on the response time of running applications. In this paper, we …

We reevaluate the use of adaptive compressed caching in order to improve system
performance through reduction of accesses to the backing stores. We propose a new and …

The limited memory capacity of mobile devices leads to the popular use of compressed
swap schemes, which reduce the I/O operations involving the swapping in and out of …

Android apps become increasingly memory-demanding as software vendors add more and
more new features to their apps. In the mean time, Android users often launch multiple apps …

In this paper, we explore the use of second-order derivatives to detect text lines on
handwritten document images. Taking advantage that the second derivative gives a …

Modern consumer electronic devices have adopted deep learning-based intelligence
services for their key features. Vendors have recently started to execute intelligence services …

The performance of memory‐intensive applications tends to be poor due to the high
overhead added by the swapping mechanism. The same problem may be found in highly …
