Framework for a Context-Switching Run-Time Reconfigurable System
… configurations. This technique is known as context-switching. This thesis discusses the development of a framework to support applications which execute on a run-time reconfigurable system containing context-switching devices. The framework is divided into a number of layers: hardware, …

Context Switching Strategies in a Run-Time Reconfigurable system
… Having multiple configuration planes and switching between them while processing data is one approach towards achieving rapid reconfiguration. An experimental context switching programmable device, called the Context Switching Reconfigurable Computer (CSRC), has been created by BAE …

Language Mechanisms for Context Switching and Protection in Level Structured Operating Systems
… and the Execute statement controls processor context switching between levels. The mechanisms rely on data typing to implement safety. They are shown to provide safe systems and to encourage systems that are well protected and exhibit an explicit hierarchical structure.

A case study of bubble tea shops in an American college town: Value of the ‘transcensemantic’ in transcreative strategy for development of intercultural consumer experiences
… potentialities of copywriting as a means to “context switching.” Focusing on the use of Chinese script in marketing a product to an English-speaking audience, foregrounds the way language barriers to cultural exchange enable the production of novel values. I show how transcreative practices …

Design and Evaluation of an Embedded Real-time Micro-kernel
… It uses the underlying hardware for high-speed context switching between the kernel and applications, which is five times faster than the ordinary context switch. The features of the kernel can be configured according to performance requirements without change to the applications. Along with the …

Pose: Scalable General-Purpose Parallel Discrete Event Simulation
… to obtain better cache performance and reduce context switching overhead. We then develop techniques to optimize communication in concert with these new strategies. Finally, we study load balancing in the context of optimistic synchronization and design new approaches to fit with our other …

Hardware support for unbounded transactional memory
… immediate aborts, a processor snapshot, and context-switching support; all features not found in previous hardware transactional systems. UTM was implemented in a detailed simulator, and experimental results show that it can be integrated with existing hardware straightforwardly while still …

Achieving predictable timing and fairness through cooperative polling
… the inherent efficiency advantages of voluntary context switching versus involuntary pre-emption. In CPU saturated conditions, we show that the scheduling responsiveness of cooperative polling is five times better than a well-tuned fair-share scheduler, and orders of magnitude better than the …

Contextinator: Recreating the context lost amid information fragmentation on the web
… and the impact of work interruptions, I created Contextinator, a personal information manager for the web browser that lets information workers organize their work activity and information into projects. Contextinator assists in coordinating information for projects, thereby ameliorating …

Multitasking operating systems for real-time applications
… other tasks and the system overhead required for context switching. When the timing restrictions were increased, we observed that data is lost during intertask communication and that higher priority tasks are the only tasks which run. This ability to observe the interaction between tasks has …

Intelligent Augmented Reality (iAR):Context-aware Inference and Adaptation in AR
… and omnipresent virtual content. As the user's context changes, the virtual content in AR head-worn displays can occasionally become obtrusive, hindering the user's perception and awareness of their surroundings and their interaction with both the virtual and physical worlds. An intelligent …

Evaluating the Design and Performance of a Single-Chip Parallel Computer Using System-Level Models and Methodology
… processors, memory access time, and the time for context switching, the system designer will undoubtedly observe an overall performance increase. This study presents in-depth evaluations and quantitative analyses of various design and performance aspects of SCMP through the development of abstract …

A Compiler Directed Framework for Parallel Compositional Systems
… as well as threads, with code sharing and fast context switching time similar to threads. Weaves do not require any special support from either the language or application code - practically any code can be weaved. Weaves also include support for fast automatic checkpointing and recovery with no …

MCFlow: Middleware for Mixed-Criticality Distributed Real-Time Systems
… where possible to reduce memory contention, CPU context switching, and priority inversion; and (5) empirical evaluations of MCFlow itself and of different mixed criticality scheduling approaches both with a single host and end-to-end across multiple hosts. The results of our evaluation show that …
