TL;DR: This paper recommends benchmarking selection and evaluation methodologies, and introduces the DaCapo benchmarks, a set of open source, client-side Java benchmarks that improve over SPEC Java in a variety of ways, including more complex code, richer object behaviors, and more demanding memory system requirements.

TL;DR: A survey of optimizations for stream processing, in a style similar to catalogs of design patterns or refactorings, to help future streaming system builders to stand on the shoulders of giants from not just their own community.

TL;DR: This article proposes an elastic auto-parallelization solution that can dynamically adjust the number of channels used to achieve high throughput without unnecessarily wasting resources and can handle partitioned stateful operators via run-time state migration, which is fully transparent to the application developers.

TL;DR: The initial results from applying dynamic prefetching are promising, indicating overall execution time improvements of 5.19% for several memory-performance-limited SPECint2000 benchmarks running their largest inputs.

TL;DR: The consequences of the authors' collective inattention to methodology on innovation are explored, recommendations for addressing this problem in one domain are made, and guidelines for other domains are provided.
