Computer scientists have invented a highly effective, yet incredibly simple, algorithm to decide which items to toss from a web cache to make room for new ones. Computer scientists have invented a ...

Computer memory capacity has expanded greatly, allowing machines to access data and perform tasks very quickly, but accessing the computer's central processing unit, or CPU, for each task slows the ...

In this article we propose an approach to building multivariate regression models for prediction beyond the range of the data. The extrapolation model attempts to accurately estimate the high-level ...

The concepts of tiering and caching data are as old as computing itself. Both form an effective strategy in achieving the best price/performance ratio for storage in the enterprise. But, with a huge ...

Flash storage provides significantly more performance (IOPS and throughput) and lower latency than hard disk-based media. Of course, flash comes with a higher price tag – up to 10 times more than ...

When you want to upgrade your current computer or build a new rig from scratch, the computer processor (also called the CPU) is a key component. The CPU handles all the primary processing tasks for ...
