Architectural Alternatives to Reduce Remote Conflict Misses in Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
Still, NUMA-RC does not perform well for migration intensive applications. We propose to augment NUMA-RC further with the ability of migrating data using memory lines that are not actively used. The resulting architecture is termed as EX-NUMA. The extra design overhead of EX-NUMA over NUMA-RC is …

Using near misses to teach concepts to a human intelligence system
If we are to understand how we can build artificial intelligence machines that are able to organically process and acquire knowledge like humans do, we must first understand how to teach a human intelligence system to model and learn generic concepts without resorting to mechanistic hand-coding of …

Impact of Increased Cache Misses on Runtime Performance of MPX-enabled Programs
… there is a correlation between increase in cache misses and runtime degradation in programs compiled with MPX support. We analyze 15 SPEC CPU benchmark programs for different input sizes on Windows platform, compiled with Intel's ICC compiler. We find that for input sizes train(medium) and …

A human rights analysis of housing informality in Namibia: Challenges, ambitions, and misses
This thesis set out to assess the legislative, administrative, and financial measures taken by the Namibian Government to address the proliferation of informal settlements in the country as per the dictates of international human rights law. It did this by applying the OPERA framework of …

Architectural and Compiler Support to Hide Coherence Misses in Distributed Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
Our evaluation of data prefetching resulted in performance improvements of about 30%, regardless of the memory size. For the applications studied, while for the the average improvement of data forwarding is smaller than in data forwarding, neither technique outperforms the other in all cases. The …

Giraffes, Ferris Wheels and Royal Reenactments: Hits and Misses in the Reinvention of a Joseon Palace
Tourist sites, like national identities, are selectively promoted depictions often made from highly contested perspectives. A site is a self-perpetuating scene created by host and visitors swapping the same images. Olivia Jenkins has described spiraling circles of representation linked to …

Locating cache performance bottlenecks using data profiling
… code locations. The costs due to frequent cache misses on a given piece of data, however, may be spread over instructions throughout the application. The resulting individually small costs at a large number of instructions can easily appear insignificant in a code profiler's output. DProf helps …

Alcohol, task difficulty, and incentives in drill press operation
… The subject's response was measured by hits and misses. A Hit was defined as placing the metal drill probe in either of two holes in the top metal plate of the workpiece without touching the plate. A miss was defined as a contact of the probe with the top plate. Except for the effect of alcohol …

Data prefetch mechanisms for accelerating symbolic and numeric computation
… control and data hazards. Primary data cache misses are responsible for the majority of the data hazards. With CPU primary cache sizes limited by clock cycle time constraints, the performance of future CPUs is effectively going to be limited by the number of primary data cache misses whose …

LWFG: A Cache-Aware Multi-core Real-Time Scheduling Algorithm
… of increasing the potential cost of any cache misses on such architectures. When cache misses become more costly, minimizing them becomes even more important, particularly in terms of scalability concerns. In this thesis, we consider the problem of cache-aware real-time scheduling on …

Behavioral and Psychophysiological Effects of Near-Miss Outcomes in a Game of War
… leading to the misidentification of wins is near-misses. Near-misses occur when the outcome of an event closely resembles a winning outcome, even though it is a loss. The current study intended to further investigate the effects of near-misses relative to wins and losses on player’s inter-trial …

The impact of instruction-level parallelism on multiprocessor performance and simulation methodology
… We identify clustering independent read misses together in the processor instruction window as a key optimization to exploit the ILP features of current processors. We also use the above analysis to examine the validity of direct-execution simulators with previous-generation processor …

Data relocation and prefetching for programs with large data sets
… and cache capacity result in cache conflict misses. Also, non-unit stride access patterns can cause low utilization of cache lines. Data copying has been proposed and investigated in order to reduce the cache conflict misses (1) (2), but this technique has a high execution overhead since it …

Maternal near miss audit in Metro West Maternity services
… near miss rate is defined as the number of near misses per 1000 live births. In 2011, World Health Organization (WHO) produced a useful tool for identifying near misses according to composite criteria which include the occurrence of a severe maternal complication together with organ dysfunction …

The subjects rated style as more important than fit and were more satisfied with the overall style of Misses' clothing than with the style of Tall clothing. The subjects appeared to buy Misses' clothing despite their …
