One common criticism of this approach, is that synthetic workload produced by Web stressing tools is far from realistic. This paper deals with a benchmarking methodology based on workload characterization generated from log files. A customer behavior model graph (CBMG) was proposed by Mensace, et al., (1999) as workload characterization of an e-commerce site. We discuss how CBMG methodology has a wider field of application and how to use this model to efficiently improve a fully integrated Web stressing tool. We also evaluate the differences between our approach and other models based on different characterizations.","PeriodicalId":320576,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE International Workshop on Workload Characterization","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114592672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the growing popularity of such devices, there is a need in the embedded industry for a set of applications for accurate indications of the performance of embedded Java solutions. To address this problem, we gather a set of 12 Java applications running on PDA and cell phone like devices. We present a machine-independent characterization of the applications, specifically focusing on their memory characteristics. Our focus is motivated by the criticality of memory size constraints and heap footprints on both performance and power budgets.","PeriodicalId":320576,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE International Workshop on Workload Characterization","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116389160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on MPEG-4's main profile, video, whose approach allows more efficiency in coding and more flexibility in managing heterogeneous media objects than previous MPEG standards. This brief study presents evidence to support the assertion that for non-SIMD architectures and computational models, most memory-system optimizations will have little effect on MPEG-4 performance. This paper makes two contributions. First, it serves as an independent confirmation that for current, general-purpose architectures, MPEG-4 video is computation bound (just like most other media processing applications). Second, our findings should prove useful to other researchers and practitioners considering how to (or how not to) optimize MPEG-4 performance.","PeriodicalId":320576,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE International Workshop on Workload Characterization","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132348299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
