Our results show not only that predictive hoarding is feasible, but that Seer has excellent performance that significantly improves disk-space usage on mobile computers. 1 Introduction In the past few years, mobile operation has become a major force in personal computing. Notebook, laptop, and palmtop computers are popping up everywhere: we see them on airplanes, in classrooms, in restaurants and even in taxis. The growth in portable power has been equally phenomenal. Today's average laptop machine rivals th... |
