Existing de-duplication solutions in cloud backup environment either obtain high compression ratios at the cost of heavy de-duplication overheads in terms of increased latency and reduced throughput,… (More)
Due to the relatively low bandwidth of WAN (Wide Area Network) that supports cloud backup services, both the backup time and restore time in the cloud backup environment are in desperate need for… (More)
Data deduplication is a lossless compression technology that replaces the redundant data chunks with pointers pointing to the already-stored ones. Due to this intrinsic data elimination feature, the… (More)
Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by physiological intraocular hypertension that causes damage to the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). In the past, RGC… (More)
In order to maintain the transactional semantics, Transactional Memory (TM) must guarantee isolated read and write operations in each transaction, meaning that it must spend a non-negligible and… (More)
In this study, we utilized yellow-wavelength laser treatment and measured aqueous outflow facility to establish a model for chronic glaucoma in rhesus monkeys. We then compared the effects of… (More)
Data deduplication has become a commodity in large-scale storage systems, especially in data backup and archival systems. However, due to the removal of redundant data, data deduplication… (More)
Besides the time on organizing redo or undo log, extra time on repairing or merging not only lengthens transaction’s execution period but also leads to conflict with surrounding transactions… (More)
As more threads added to execute the multi-threaded applications in the many-core era, memory contentions among different threads impose a severe challenge to both the programmability and… (More)
To ensure successful parasitism, parasitoid wasps inject venom along with their eggs into their hosts. The venom serves to suppress host immune responses, including melanization. Venom from… (More)
