Evaluation of Release Consistent Software Distributed Shared Memory on Emerging Network Technology
"... We evaluate the effect of processor speed, network characteristics, and software overhead on the performance of release-consistent software distributed shared memory. We examine five different protocols for implementing release consistency: eager update, eager invalidate, lazy update, lazy invalidat ..."

independent of the protocol used. Medium-grained applications, such as Water, can achieve good performance, but the choice of protocol is critical. For sixteen processors, the best protocol, lazy hybrid, performed more than three times better than the worst, the eager update. Fine-grained applications
Biodiversity - global biodiversity scenarios for the year 2100
, 2000
"... Scenarios of changes in biodiversity for the year 2100 can now be developed based on scenarios of changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, climate, vegetation, and land use and the known sensitivity of biodiversity to these changes. This study identified a ranking of the importance of drivers of chang ..."

Cross-Layer Design for Wireless Networks
- IEEE Communications Magazine
, 2003
"... As the cellular and PCS world collides with Wireless LANs and Internet-based packet data, new networking approaches will support the integration of voice and data on the composite infrastructure of cellular base stations and Ethernet-based wireless access points. This paper highlights some of the pa ..."

of the past accomplishments and promising research avenues for an important topic in the creation of future wireless networks. In this paper, we address the issue of cross-layer networking, where the physical and MAC layer knowledge of the wireless medium is shared with higher layers, in order to provide
Multilevel inverters: A survey of topologies, controls and applications
- IEEE Trans. Ind. Appl
, 2002
"... Abstract—Multilevel inverter technology has emerged re-cently as a very important alternative in the area of high-power medium-voltage energy control. This paper presents the most important topologies like diode-clamped inverter (neutral-point clamped), capacitor-clamped (flying capacitor), and casc ..."

Quantifying Landscape Spatial Pattern: What Is the State of the Art?
, 1998
"... Landscape ecology is based on the premise that there are strong links between ecological pattern and ecological function and process. Ecological systems are spatially heterogeneous, exhibiting considerable complexity and variability in time and space. This variability is typically represented by cat ..."
