An analysis of database workload performance on simultaneous multithreaded processors
- In Proceedings of the 25th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture
, 1998
"... Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is an architectural technique in which the processor issues multiple instructions from multiple threads each cycle. While SMT has been shown to be effective on scientific workloads, its performance on database systems is still an open question. In particular, databa ..."

the memory-system behavior of database systems running on-line transaction processing and decision support system workloads. Our data show that while DBMS workloads have large memory footprints, there is substantial data reuse in a small, cacheable “critical ” working set. Second, we show that the additional
Impacts of Mixed Use and Density on Utilization of Three Modes of Travel: Single-Occupant Vehicle, Transit, and Walking,"
- Transportation Research Record
, 1994
"... Findings from an empirical analysis to test the impacts of land-use mix, population density, and employment density on the use of the singleoccupant vehicle (SOV), transit, and walking for both work trips and shopping trips are presented. The hypothetical relationships tested focused on whether the ..."

empirical relationships between urban form (land-use mix and density) and trip making by individuals who use SOVs, transit, and walking as modes of travel. This analysis focuses on two trip purposes: working and shopping. POLICY PERSPECTIVE Over the past 3 years several policies that are intended to reduce
Monetary Policy for Inattentive Economies
"... This paper is a contribution to the analysis of optimal monetary policy. It begins with a critical assessment of the existing literature, arguing that most work is based on implausible models of inflation-output dynamics. It then suggests that this problem may be solved with some recent behavioral m ..."

In this regard, the paper presents a step-wise decision-making procedure, in which discounted cash flow analysis and the use of strategic benchmarks for the debt play central
Demand analysis in Irish tourism
- Journal of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland
, 1997
"... This paper attempts to test conventionally believed hypotheses on a body of relevant data. The study is primarily based on examining the nature of Irish export tourism demand from four of its main generating countries: Britain, the USA, Franc and Germany. The work of various authors is drawn upon in ..."

, the results suggest that price and income factors were among the most important explanatory variables determining tourism demand levels to Ireland. An analysis of the subsequent elasticity values has important significance particularly, in light of past and present tourism policy initiatives.
Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

An empirical analysis of cellular demand in
, 2008
"... We analyze demand for prepaid cellular voice and short message service (SMS) in South Africa by means of a demand-and-supply structural model based on a multinomial specification fitted to a cross-sectional data set on Vodacom customers collected in 2005. We find that consumers are very sen-sitive t ..."

The highest valuations are those placed by rural consumers on work-ing hour communications. A policy implication of our analysis is that while in terms of access
Operating R. Stockton Gaines Systems Editor Generalized Working Sets for Segment Reference Strings
"... The working-set concept is extended for programs that reference segments of different sizes. The generalized working-set policy (GWS) keeps as its resident set those segments whose retention costs do not exceed their retrieval costs. The GWS is a model for the entire class of demand-fetching memory ..."
