- Making RCU Safe for Deep Sub-Millisecond Response Realtime Applications
- Linux has long been used for soft realtime applications. More recent work is preparing Linux for more aggressive realtime use, with scheduling latencies in the small number of hundreds of microseconds (that is right, microseconds, not milliseconds). The current Linux 2.6 RCU implementation both helps and hurts. It helps by...

- A Dual Actuator Logging Disk Architecture
- This paper presents a dual actuator logging disk architecture to minimize write access latencies. The paper reduces small synchronous write latency using the notion of logging writes, i.e. writing to free sectors near the current disk head location. However, the paper shows through simulations that logging writes by itself is...

- SML2004-0062: Long Wires and Asynchronous Control
- As integrated circuit technologies get smaller, circuit and architectural trends make transmitting data across long on-chip wires increasingly important yet increasingly expensive in both latency and throughput. Inserting repeaters can reduce latency by breaking up long wires with gain stages but offers only limited throughput improvement, while breaking long wires...
