The predictability of load address
Authors: Jinsuo Zhang
Venue: ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News (2001)

Memory access latency is the traditional bottleneck of system performance. Cache is historically introduced to bridge the big gap between processor and main memory so as to reduce the load-to-use delay. The traditional one cycle cache latency has already caused problems for pipeline execution. The situation becomes worse for modern deep pipelined superscalar processor when clock rate continues to increase and cache capacity increases, which inevitably lead to more cycle cache latency.Load address prediction could alleviate the load-to-use delay by predicting the target address of load instruction in the early stage of pipeline. But existing address prediction schemes can only predict up to 67% regular address pattern.To explore the potential of address prediction, in this paper, from the program behavior, we study and simulate various load address change patterns. Our results first show that the address of load has high repeatability. We further classify load instructions naturally into several categories and analyze their behavior respectively. The reason for both correct address prediction and incorrect prediction are studied from program behavior. The load instructions with low prediction rate are further analyzed. Focused on the high misprediction for load from stack scalar variable, one new prediction schemes: stack coloring is proposed. Furthermore, we also propose a new context predictor: global context predictor, which greatly saves the prediction resources. Our results show that the high predictability with 77.5%, 75.8% and 90.6% can be achieved for stride, context and hybrid predictor respectively.

The Use of Data Envelopment Analysis in Banking Institutions: Evidence from the Commercial Bank of Greece
Authors: Antreas D. Athanassopoulos, Dimitris Giokas
Venue: Interfaces (2000)

Since 1988, the Commercial Bank of Greece (CBG) has instituted performance measurement systems for bank branches using data envelopment analysis (DEA). This is the first application of DEA in Greece and among the few around the world that have resulted in continuous use of the method within a large-scale organization. The project was undertaken by a mixed team of banking experts assisted by academics specializing in developing bank branch performance measurement systems. During the project (1988--1994) the performance measurement technology was transferred and acquired by the staff of the bank. Various methodological issues arose during this study regarding the objectives of assessing branch performance, the importance of input/output sets in assessing branch efficiency, and the behavioral implications of management control systems. The CBG (Commercial Bank of Greece) has accepted data envelopment analysis as a useful tool for assessing branch performance and for obtaining insights to support decisions.
In the Company of Giants: Candid Conversations with the Visionaries of the Digital World
Authors: Rama Dev Jager, Rafael Ortiz
Venue:  (2001)

:In the Company of Giants presents groundbreaking conversations conducted with 16 of the digital world's most successful personalities: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, T. J. Rodgers, Gordon Eubanks, Steve Case, Scott Cook, Sandy Kurtzig, John Warnock and Charles Geschke, Michael Dell, Charles Wang, Andy Grove, Trip Hawkins, Ed McCracken, Ken Olsen, and Bill Hewlett. In order to write In the Company of Giants, the authors sat down with Silicon Valley's greatest visionaries in intimate, face-to-face discussions without corporate filters or interference. Each spoke for hours, answering the authors' probing questions about their work and their success; about the technology industry and their visions of the future; and about themselves, their values, and each other. The result is the broadest, deepest, most forthright investigation yet into the origins, evolution, and future direction of the Information Age and the idiosyncratic geniuses who lead it. In these pages, you'll read Steve Jobs on what Apple did right and where it went wrong;ä Bill Gates on the future of operating systems in an internet-centered world; Gordon Eubanks at Symantec on the two-guys-in-a-garage myth ("Apple wouldn't have gone anywhere without guys like [former Apple Chairman and President A. C. "Mike"] Markkula, who had some idea of what a company looked like."); Sandy Kurtzig at ASK on how she stood up to the big boys at Hewlett-Packard to retain control of her soon-to-be software colossus; Steve Case on censorship on the internet - and customer service; and Andy Grove on the next big frontier (cross-fertilizing genetics and biotech with information technology). Equal parts candid opinion, insider's history of the high-tech trade, and front-line business primer, packed with insight and passion, In the Company of Giants transports you to the epicenter of the most vital and influential industry of our time, in the company of some of the most lively and intelligent minds at work today.

Novel modeling techniques for RTL power estimation
Authors: Michael Eiermann, Walter Stechele
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

In this work, we propose efficient macromodeling techniques for RTL power estimation, based only on word and bit level switching information of the module inputs. We present practicable combina¿tions of these two properties for the construction of power macro-models. It is demonstrated, that our developed models reduce the estimation error compared to the Hamming-distance model at least by 64%. The total average errors (compared to PowerMill) achieved over a wide range of test modules and input stimuli are less than 4.6%. This is comparable to complex models, which how¿ever, have to make use of several more signal properties.

Viceroy: a scalable and dynamic emulation of the butterfly
Authors: Dahlia Malkhi, Moni Naor, David Ratajczak
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-first annual symposium on Principles of distributed computing (2002)

We propose a family of constant-degree routing networks of logarithmic diameter, with the additional property that the addition or removal of a node to the network requires no global coordination, only a constant number of linkage changes in expectation, and a logarithmic number with high probability. Our randomized construction improves upon existing solutions, such as balanced search trees, by ensuring that the congestion of the network is always within a logarithmic factor of the optimum with high probability. Our construction derives from recent advances in the study of peer-to-peer lookup networks, where rapid changes require efficient and distributed maintenance, and where the lookup efficiency is impacted both by the lengths of paths to requested data and the presence or elimination of bottlenecks in the network.

How to Do Everything with Your iMac, 2nd edition
Authors: Todd Stauffer
Venue:  (1999)

From the Book:Apple includes almost no documentation with the iMac. This book fills that void with aplomb-it's the killer user manual Apple, thankfully, forgot. Todd Stauffer is a darn good writer and this is the perfect book for the first-time iMac user who wants to know everything about his or her iMac. From the simple (the Finder, the Internet, Sherlock, etc.) to the sublime (AppleWorks hints, Nanosaur tips, and so on) this is the one book that quite literally tells you everything about your iMac. I declare this book to be the perfect accompaniment to any iMac. Todd's love for the iMac and intimate knowledge of how things work, along with his coverage of almost every detail from hardware to bundled software, make this book the perfect for every iMac user. When the nice folks at McGraw-Hill asked me to give the book a once over with my critical eye, I thought I was going to have to work hard for my money. That turned out not to be the case. On the contrary, Todd thought of almost everything you'd need to know about your iMac for each chapter, and what he forgot, tech editor John Rizzo remembered. By the time I saw the chapters, there wasn't a whole lot left to be said. And for me to be left without a whole lot to say is, shall we say, not the normal state of affairs. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this book is supremely comprehensive. From the bundled software to anything and everything about the iMac itself, Todd's got you covered. And last but not least, the book is well and clearly written, a definite plus these days. The bottom line is this: I think you'll like this book a lot.
A man-machine vehicle routing and dispatching system using interactive computer graphics
Authors: Jdy R. Hamann
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1974)

Vehicle routine and dispatching is normally a dynamic process. The requirements change up to the time the vehicle is to leave on a route and in some cases new requirements occur after the vehicle has begun its trip.Rather than being a replacement for the dispatcher, the system described in this paper is a tool which the dispatcher uses to extend his capability and effectiveness. The dispatcher continues to do what he is best at, decision making in a changing evironnment, while the computer provides the data storage, the data manipulation and the visual assist of a graphics terminal. The interactive mode allows the dispatcher to use this system in a dynamic dispatching environment. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

Feature-based light field morphing
Authors: Zhunping Zhang, Lifeng Wang, Baining Guo, Heung-Yeung Shum
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (2002)

We present a feature-based technique for morphing 3D objects represented by light fields. Our technique enables morphing of image-based objects whose geometry and surface properties are too difficult to model with traditional vision and graphics techniques. Light field morphing is not based on 3D reconstruction; instead it relies on ray correspondence, i.e., the correspondence between rays of the source and target light fields. We address two main issues in light field morphing: feature specification and visibility changes. For feature specification, we develop an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface (UI). The key to this UI is feature polygons, which are intuitively specified as 3D polygons and are used as a control mechanism for ray correspondence in the abstract 4D ray space. For handling visibility changes due to object shape changes, we introduce ray-space warping. Ray-space warping can fill arbitrarily large holes caused by object shape changes; these holes are usually too large to be properly handled by traditional image warping. Our method can deal with non-Lambertian surfaces, including specular surfaces (with dense light fields). We demonstrate that light field morphing is an effective and easy-to-use technqiue that can generate convincing 3D morphing effects.
