The modern industrial revolution, exit, and the failure of internal control systems

by Michael C. Jensen - JOURNAL OF FINANCE , 1993
"... Since 1973 technological, political, regulatory, and economic forces have been changing the worldwide economy in a fashion comparable to the changes experienced during the nineteenth century Industrial Revolution. As in the nineteenth century, we are experiencing declining costs, increaing average ( ..."

Gadara: Dynamic Deadlock Avoidance for Multithreaded Programs

by Yin Wang
"... Deadlock is an increasingly pressing concern as the multicore revolution forces parallel programming upon the average programmer. Existing approaches to deadlock impose onerous burdens on developers, entail high runtime performance overheads, or offer no help for unmodified legacy code. Gadara autom ..."

A theory of political transitions

by Daron Acemoglu, James A. Robinson, François Bourguignon, Ruth Collier, Steve Durlauf, Michael Kremer, Dani Rodrik, Ken Sokoloff, Mariano Tommasi, Jaume Ventura - American Economic Review , 2001
"... We develop a theory of political transitions inspired in part by the experiences of Western Europe and Latin America. Nondemocratic societies are controlled by a rich elite. The initially disenfranchised poor can contest power by threatening social unrest or revolution, and this may force the elite ..."

Technological revolution

by Francesco Caselli, David Laibson, John Leahy, Greg Mankiw, Steve Tadelis, Mehmet Yorukoglu - American Economic Review , 1999
"... In skill-biased (de-skilling) technological revolutions learning investments required by new machines are greater (smaller) than those required by preexisting machines. Skill-biased (de-skilling) revolutions trigger reallocations of capital from slow- (fast-) to fast- (slow-) learning workers, there ..."

Revisiting the sequential programming model for multi-core

by Matthew J. Bridges, Neil Vachharajani, Yun Zhang, Thomas Jablin, David I. August - In Proceedings of the 40th Annual ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Microarchitecture , 2007
"... Single-threaded programming is already considered a complicated task. The move to multi-threaded programming only increases the complexity and cost involved in software development due to rewriting legacy code, training of the programmer, increased debugging of the program, and efforts to avoid race ..."

techniques. This paper shows that such a framework can yield scalable parallelization on several SPEC CINT2000 benchmarks. Second, existing sequential programming languages force programmers to define a single legal program outcome, rather than allowing for a range of legal outcomes. This paper shows

Multicore Fiber Sensors for Simultaneous Measurement of Force and Temperature

by Amy Van Newkirk, J. Enrique Antonio-lopez, Guillermo Salceda-delgado, Mohammad Umar Piracha, Rodrigo Amezcua-correa, Axel Schülzgen
"... Abstract — We demonstrate a force and temperature sen-sor consisting of a multicore fiber (MCF) spliced between two single-mode fibers. Increasing of the sensitivity to applied force is achieved through etching of the MCF cladding, with an overall increase of 7 × compared with a 125-µm MCF device, a ..."

Method on Multi-core Platforms

by Changjun Hu, Yali Liu, Jianjiang Li
"... Abstract—We present a scalable spatial decomposition coloring approach to implement molecular dynamics simulations with embedded atom method (EAM) on multi-core architectures. It effectively solves parallelization of reduction operations on irregular arrays in molecular dynamics simulations. In Open ..."

Factored Multi-core Architectures

by Anahita Shayesteh , 2006
"... Technology scaling trends have forced designers to consider alternatives to deeply pipelining aggressive cores with large amounts of performance accelerating hardware. One alternative is to factor out or decouple large structures from critical pipeline loops. In this work, we combine prior technique ..."
