Arithmetic data value speculation.
… calculated incorrectly. Arithmetic data value speculation (ADVS) is a speculation scheme based on arithmetic approximation, and is used to increase the throughput of a general purpose processor. ADVS is similar to branch prediction, an arithmetic instruction is issued to an exact arithmetic …

Speculation and hedging with virtuals
<p>"Virtual bid" and "Virtual offer" are purely financial products offered in certain electricity markets. Theoretically, virtual bids and offers can change the electricity price as the bids and offers are stacked along with the demand and supply, respectively. This dissertation discusses how …

Speculation and commodity valuations : investigating the effects of speculation in the markets for oil and gold
… of the revised equilibrium model finds that speculation has a pervasive and relatively stable effect on prices. In the oil market, speculation only has an effect in the short run, while the long run equilibrium price of oil is independent of the effects of speculation - long run causation in …

Information bias and trust in bitcoin speculation
… accuracy. Within the domain of bitcoin speculation, this thesis asks the central research question of: are people able to select and correctly evaluate information they might rely upon to make decisions? In addressing this research question, this thesis offers - through the application …

Explicit Software Speculation for Dynamic Language Runtimes
I demonstrate that explicit speculation improves the performance of dynamic language implementations on existing managed runtimes by speculatively executing dynamic language code with a common case interpretation of the language semantics. I implement a variety of optimizations at a high level, …

Hardware atomicity for compiler-directed control speculation
… optimizations. As this dissertation will show, speculation enables a compiler writer to exploit dynamically occurring opportunities which would otherwise be difficult or even impossible to expose. Despite their potential, speculative optimizations typically involve complex implementation and …

Architectural support for commutativity in hardware speculation
… level of reads and writes. By contrast, software speculation schemes can reduce conflicts by exploiting that many operations on shared data are semantically commutative: they produce semantically equivalent results when reordered. However, software techniques often incur unacceptable run-time …

Design for speculation : volatile, temporal, in-transit
… can counteract this phenomenon by designing for speculation in order to mitigate future crises or successes. Understanding the economic terms of "creative destruction" and "planning obsolescence" are imperative to help structure such a proposal Though such terms were attributed to industrial …

Enhancing instruction-level parallelism through compiler-controlled speculation
The available instruction level parallelism (ILP) is extremely limited within basic blocks of non-numeric programs (1) (2) (3). An effective VLIW or superscalar processor must optimize and schedule instructions across basic block boundaries to achieve higher performance. An effective structure for …

Popular Investment and Speculation in Britain, 1918–1987
… previously stigmatised forms of investment and speculation came to be regarded as socially, politically and economically desirable. I argue that financial and economic historians, preoccupied with the growing dominance of financial institutions over British security markets during this period, …

ESCALATE TO DE-ESCALATE: SPECULATION ON RUSSIAN NUCLEAR STRATEGY
This thesis contributes to the debate regarding the Department of Defense's assessment that the Russian Federation possesses an "escalate to de-escalate" strategy. This research approaches the question through analysis of official doctrine, statements, nuclear capabilities and military exercises of …

Contending With Coloniality Through Speculation, Storytelling, And Sound Performance
Coloniality can be understood in part as the construction and deployment of hierarchical notions of difference in order to eradicate all peoples and practices defined as different from the colonizing self, norm, community, nation, or race. It is a way of thinking, a way of being, and a way of …

Speculation-Based Distributed *Simulation for Dependability and Performance Analysis
… technique to assess the schemes. The proposed speculation-based method is adopted to simulate the architecture behavior including recovery in the presence of faults. The technique allows efficient simulation without incurring much additional run-time overhead to obtain reliability results. …

Improving Per-Thread Performance on CMPs through Timing Speculation
… demands, this dissertation proposes a Timing Speculation (TS) system for CMPs that boosts core clock frequencies past their normal limits when an application demands per-thread performance and operates efficiently at nominal frequency when it demands throughput. This work's contributions are …

Writing the Name: Sergii Bulgakov and the Discipline of Speculation
… show how Bulgakov’s ‘Sophiology’ is not idle speculation, but an existential engagement with the possibilities for human action. In this way, his work is a model of a metaphysical thinking whose stakes are always a renewed engagement with the present.

Stimulation, speculation, simulation : the architecture of the captured city that the corporation gave us
For thousands of years, architecture built itself from a history of its own understanding of itself. A retracing over time, architecture was inherited from its past. Over time, sets of ideals were built collectively, with the city as its manifesto. It could be argued that the architecture built was …
