Persuasive Prediction of Concurrency Access Anomalies

by Jeff Huang, Charles Zhang
"... Predictive analysis is a powerful technique that exposes concurrency bugs in un-exercised program executions. However, current predictive analysis approaches lack the persuasiveness property as they offer little assistance in helping programmers fully understand the execution history that triggers t ..."

using twenty-two multi-threaded subjects including six large concurrent systems, and our experiments demonstrate that PECAN is able to effectively predict and deterministically expose real AAs. Several serious and previously unknown bugs in large open source concurrent systems were also revealed in our

Dative subject constructions twenty-two years later

by Masayoshi Shibatani - Department of Linguistics, University of Illinois , 1999
"... The so-called dative subject constructions, where what appears to be a subject is marked by a dative or other oblique case as in the Latin example, Mihi est liber 'I have a book', have been the center of focused attention for more than the last two decades, especially among the specialists ..."

Grasping the Intentions of Others with One’s Own Mirror Neuron System

by Marco Iacoboni, Istvan Molnar-Szakacs, Vittorio Gallese, Giovanni Buccino, John C. Mazziotta, Giacomo Rizzolatti , 2005
"... Understanding the intentions of others while watching their actions is a fundamental building block of social behavior. The neural and functional mechanisms underlying this ability are still poorly understood. To investigate these mechanisms we used functional magnetic resonance imaging. Twenty-thre ..."

-three subjects watched three kinds of stimuli: grasping hand actions without a context, context only (scenes containing objects), and grasping hand actions performed in two different contexts. In the latter condition the context suggested the intention associated with the grasping action (either drinking

Multi-Thread Hydrodynamic Modeling of a Solar Flare

by Harry P. Warren , 2005
"... Past hydrodynamic simulations have been able to reproduce the high temperatures and densities characteristic of solar flares. These simulations, however, have not been able to account for the slow decay of the observed flare emission or the absence of blueshifts in high spectral resolution line prof ..."

profiles. Recent work has suggested that modeling a flare as an sequence of independently heated threads instead of as a single loop may resolve the discrepancies between the simulations and observations. In this paper we present a method for computing multi-thread, time-dependent hydrodynamic simulations

Modeling Multi-threaded Architectures in PAMELA for Real-time

by High Performance Applications, S. Balakrishnan - in Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on High-performance Computing, Los Alamos, CA, IEEE Computer Society , 1997
"... In this paper we present a method to explore the design space of multi-threaded architectures using the Pamela [3] modeling language. The domain of applications we consider is digital signal processing (DSP), where high performance is derived by exploiting both fine grain and coarse grain parallelis ..."

Cutting the Electric Bill for Internet-Scale Systems

by Asfandyar Qureshi, John Guttag, Rick Weber, Bruce Maggs, Hari Balakrishnan
"... Energy expenses are becoming an increasingly important fraction of data center operating costs. At the same time, the energy expense per unit of computation can vary significantly between two different locations. In this paper, we characterize the variation due to fluctuating electricity prices and ..."

Abstract Communication Optimizations for Global Multi-Threaded Instruction Scheduling

by unknown authors
"... The recent shift in the industry towards chip multiprocessor (CMP) designs has brought the need for multi-threaded applications to mainstream computing. As observed in several limit studies, most of the parallelization opportunities require looking for parallelism beyond local regions of code. To ex ..."

ThreadMon A Tool for Monitoring Multithreaded Program Performance

by Bryan Cantrill - Proc. 30th Hawaii Intl. Conf. on Systems Sciences
"... This paper describes ThreadMon, a monitoring tool for improving the performance of multithreaded programs. Traditional tools, e.g., gprof, thread analyzer, etc., present overall indications of performance, such as the total number of calls to each procedure, the time spent in each function, who call ..."

Spoken Tasks for Human-Human Experiments: Towards In-Car Speech User Interfaces for Multi-Threaded Dialogue

"... We report on the design of spoken tasks for a study that explored how people manage spoken multi-threaded dialogues while one of the conversants is operating a simulated vehicle. Based on a series of preliminary studies we propose a set of considerations that researchers should take into account whe ..."
