Fleets: Scalable Services in a Factored Operating System
(2011-03-09)
Current monolithic operating systems are designed for uniprocessor systems, and their architecture reflects this. The rise of multicore and cloud computing is drastically changing the tradeoffs in operating system design. ...
Remote Oblivious Storage: Making Oblivious RAM Practical
(2011-03-30)
Remote storage of data has become an increasingly attractive and advantageous option, especially due to cloud systems. While encryption protects the data, it does not hide the access pattern to the data. A natural solution ...
SEEC: A Framework for Self-aware Management of Multicore Resources
(2011-03-24)
This paper presents SEEC, a self-aware programming model, designed to reduce programming effort in modern multicore systems. In the SEEC model, application programmers specify application goals and progress, while systems ...
Intel Concurrent Collections for Haskell
(2011-03-22)
Intel Concurrent Collections (CnC) is a parallel programming model in which a network of steps (functions) communicate through message-passing as well as a limited form of shared memory. This paper describes a new ...
Multicore Performance Optimization Using Partner Cores
(2011-03-25)
As the push for parallelism continues to increase the number of cores on a chip, and add to the complexity of system design, the task of optimizing performance at the application level becomes nearly impossible for the ...
A Comparison of Autonomic Decision Making Techniques
(2011-04-01)
Autonomic computing systems are capable of adapting their behavior and resources thousands of times a second to automatically decide the best way to accomplish a given goal despite changing environmental conditions and ...
Werner Reichardt: the man and his scientific legacy
(2011-03-04)
Excerpts from a talk given by Tomaso Poggio in Tübingen on the opening ofthe Werner Reichardt Centrun für Integrative Neurowissenschaften, December 8, 2008.
Evaluation of the usability and usefulness of automatic speech recognition among users in South Africa
(2011)
An automatic speech recognition (ASR) system is a software application which recognizes human speech, processes it as input, and displays a text version of the speech as output or uses the input as commands for another ...
Uncertain input estimation with application to Kalman tracking
(2011)
Many motion tracking systems average and integrate
tracking measurements over a period of time in order to reduce the effects of device noise, external
noise and other disturbances. The target (user) is likely to be ...
The design considerations and development of a simulator for the backtesting of investment strategies
(2011)
The skill of accurately predicting the optimal time to buy or sell shares on the stock market is one that has been actively sought by both experienced and novice investors since the advent of the stock exchange in the early ...
