...lab
Our measurements are pessimistic, because in our Lab workstations are heavily used running VERILOG simulations for most of the time.
...kernel
We distribute the external pager along with the test programs freely using anonymous ftp from ftp.ics.forth.gr:pub/pager.
...memory.
The client is allowed to page-out at most a preset number of page frames to each server.
...network
Actually, the prediction we make is pessimistic because an X times faster network will not only reduce the page transfer time by a factor of X, but itit will also allow more overlap between computation and network transfer, thus reducing the average page transfer time by a factor larger than X! Thus, future faster networks will result in even better completion times than the ones we predict here, thereby making our case even stronger.
...request.
We believe that this latency will be reduced if a faster than TCP/IP protocol is used.
...matrix.
Because the completion times of the simulation were too long, we simulated only the first 100 million references.
