It is a striking fact that in humans the greatest learnmg occurs precisely at that point in time- childhood- when the most dramatic maturational changes also occur. This report describes possible synergistic interactions between maturational change and the ability to learn a complex domain

In a Computational Grid which consists of many com-puter clusters, job start time predictions are useful to guide resource selections and balance the workload distribution. However, the basic Grid middleware available today either has no means of expressing the time that a site will take be

The NCP5386 is a one − or two−phase buck controller which combines differential voltage and current sensing, and adaptive voltage positioning to power both AMD and Intel processors and chipsets. Dual−edge pulse−width modulation (PWM) combined with inductor current sensing reduces system cost by providing the fastest initial response to transient load events. Dual−edge multi−phase modulation reduces total bulk and ceramic output capacitance required to satisfy transient load−line regulation. A high performance operational error amplifier is provided, which allows easy compensation of the system. The proprietary method of Dynamic Reference Injection (Patented) makes the error amplifier compensation virtually independent of the system response to VID changes, eliminating tradeoffs between overshoot and dynamic VID performance.

Abstract. Given a set 3- = {T1, T2, , T,} of tasks, each T/having execution time 1, an integer start-time si->0 and adeadlinedi> 0, alongwithprecedence constraintsamongthe tasks,weexamine the problem of determining whether there exists a schedule on two identical processors that executes each

been proposed: rate-monotonic, where task period equals deadline, and deadline-monotonic where task deadline maybe less than period. When tasks are permitted to have arbitrary start times, a common release time between all tasks in a task set may not occur. In this eventuality, both rate

correctly in the partially synchronous system regardless of the actual values of the bounds A and (I,. In another version of partial synchrony, the bounds are known, but are only guaranteed to hold starting at some unknown time T, and protocols must be designed to work correctly regardless of when time

A computer is generally considered to be a universal computational device; i.e., it is believed able to simulate any physical computational device with a cost in com-putation time of at most a polynomial factol: It is not clear whether this is still true when quantum mechanics is taken

In this paper we describe the algorithmic implementation of multiclass kernel-based vector machines. Our starting point is a generalized notion of the margin to multiclass problems. Using this notion we cast multiclass categorization problems as a constrained optimization problem with a quadratic

edges correspond to feasible paths between these configurations. These paths are computed using a simple and fast local planner. In the query phase, any given start and goal configurations of the robot are connected to two nodes of the roadmap; the roadmap is then searched for a path joining these two
