The advent of the world-wide web and web-based applications have
dramatically changed the nature of computer applications. Computer
system design, in the light of these changes, involves
understanding these modem workloads, identifying bottlenecks during
their execution, and appropriately tailoring microprocessors,
memory systems, and the overall system to minimize bottlenecks.
This book contains ten chapters dealing with several contemporary
programming paradigms including Java, web server and database
workloads. The first two chapters concentrate on Java. While
Barisone et al.'s characterization in Chapter 1 deals with
instruction set usage of Java applications, Kim et al.'s analysis
in Chapter 2 focuses on memory referencing behavior of Java
workloads. Several applications including the SPECjvm98 suite are
studied using interpreter and Just-In-Time (TIT) compilers.
Barisone et al.'s work includes an analytical model to compute the
utilization of various functional units. Kim et al. present
information on locality, live-range of objects, object lifetime
distribution, etc. Studying database workloads has been a challenge
to research groups, due to the difficulty in accessing standard
benchmarks. Configuring hardware and software for database
benchmarks such as those from the Transactions Processing Council
(TPC) requires extensive effort. In Chapter 3, Keeton and Patterson
present a simplified workload (microbenchmark) that approximates
the characteristics of complex standardized benchmarks.
