Parallel discrete event simulation

by Richard M. Fujimoto , 1990
"... Parallel discrete event simulation (PDES), sometimes I called distributed simulation, refers to the execution of a single discrete event simulation program on a parallel computer. PDES has attracted a considerable amount of interest in recent years. From a pragmatic standpoint, this interest arises ..."

from the fact that large simulations in engineering, computer science, economics, and military apphcations, to mention a few, consume enormous amounts of time

Fab: Content-based, collaborative recommendation

by Marko Balabanovic, Yoav Shoham - Communications of the ACM , 1997
"... Fab is a recommendation system designed to help users sift through the enormous amount of information available in the World Wide Web. Operational since Dec. 1994, this system combines the content-based and collaborative methods of recommendation in a way that exploits the advantages of the two appr ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

such methodologies are developed, it will remain impractical to use activation theory in predicting or changing employee reactions to their jobs except in a very gross fashion; e.g., in situations where it is clear that most employees are enormously over-or understimulated by their jobs. A second problem has to do

Capacity Limits of MIMO Channels

by Andrea Goldsmith, Sriram Vishwanath, et al. - IEEE J. SELECT. AREAS COMMUN , 2003
"... We provide an overview of the extensive recent results on the Shannon capacity of single-user and multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. Although enormous capacity gains have been predicted for such channels, these predictions are based on somewhat unrealistic assumptions about t ..."

From theory to practice: an overview of MIMO space-time coded wireless systems

by David Gesbert, Mansoor Shafi, Da-shan Shiu, Peter J. Smith, Ayman Naguib - IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS , 2003
"... This paper presents an overview of recent progress in the area of multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) space–time coded wireless systems. After some background on the research leading to the discovery of the enormous potential of MIMO wireless links, we highlight the different classes of technique ..."

Sizing Router Buffers

by Guido Appenzeller, Isaac Keslassy, Nick McKeown , 2004
"... All Internet routers contain buffers to hold packets during times of congestion. Today, the size of the buffers is determined by the dynamics of TCP’s congestion control algorithm. In particular, the goal is to make sure that when a link is congested, it is busy 100 % of the time; which is equivalen ..."

BYPASS THE LOOPS IN ENORMOUS NETWORKS

by D Kishore Kumar
"... ABSTRACT: In general comprehensive networks have chance of frequent failures; this can be failures of links between the routers when they communicate for the routing table which results in loop occurrence. Routers have the terrible feature of updating their routing tables where its convergence time ..."

PETSc includes an expanding suite of parallel linear, nonlinear equation solvers and time integrators that may be used

A progressive refinement approach to fast radiosity image generation

by Michael F. Cohen, Shenchang Eric Chen, John R. Wallace, Donald P. Greenberg - Computer Graphics , 1988
"... A reformulated radiosity algorithm is presented that produces initial images in time linear to the number of patches. The enormous memory costs of the radiosity algorithm are also elim-inated by computing form-factors on-the-fly. The technique is based on the approach of rendering by progressive ref ..."
