Least-square estimation of average power in digital CMOS circuits
Authors: Ashok K. Murugavel, N. Ranganathan, R. Chandramouli, Srinath Chavali
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2002)

The estimation of average-power dissipation of a circuit through exhaustive simulation is impractical due to the large number of primary inputs and their combinations. In this brief, two algorithms based on least square estimation are proposed for determining the average power dissipation in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. Least square estimation converges faster by attempting to minimize the mean square error value during each iteration. Two statistical approaches namely, the sequential least square (SLS) estimation and the recursive least square estimation are investigated. The proposed methods are distribution independent in terms of the input samples, unbiased and point estimation based. Experimental results presented for the MCNC'91 and the ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits show that the least square estimation algorithms converge faster than other statistical techniques such as the Monte Carlo method (4) and the DIPE (8).
Let caches decay: reducing leakage energy via exploitation of cache generational behavior
Authors: Zhigang Hu, Stefanos Kaxiras, Margaret Martonosi
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computer Systems (TOCS) (2002)

Power dissipation is increasingly important in CPUs ranging from those intended for mobile use, all the way up to high-performance processors for highend servers. Although the bulk of the power dissipated is dynamic switching power, leakage power is also beginning to be a concern. Chipmakers expect that in future chip generations, leakage's proportion of total chip power will increase significantly. This article examines methods for reducing leakage power within the cache memories of the CPU. Because caches comprise much of a CPU chip's area and transistor counts, they are reasonable targets for attacking leakage. We discuss policies and implementations for reducing cache leakage by invalidating and "turning off" cache lines when they hold data not likely to be reused. In particular, our approach is targeted at the generational nature of cache line usage. That is, cache lines typically have a flurry of frequent use when first brought into the cache, and then have a period of "dead time" before they are evicted. By devising effective, low-power ways of deducing dead time, our results show that in many cases we can reduce L1 cache leakage energy by 4x in SPEC2000 applications without having an impact on performance. Because our decay-based techniques have notions of competitive online algorithms at their roots, their energy usage can be theoretically bounded at within a factor of two of the optimal oracle-based policy. We also examine adaptive decay-based policies that make energy-minimizing policy choices on a per-application basis by choosing appropriate decay intervals individually for each cache line. Our proposed adaptive policies effectively reduce L1 cache leakage energy by 5x for the SPEC2000 with only negligible degradations in performance.

Information Seeking: An Organizational Dilemma
Authors: J. David Johnson
Venue:  (1996)

:How do people in organizations get the information they need to do their work, and what are the effects of their research - positive and negative - on their organizations? Indeed, says the author of this unique, provocative study, the forces that promote ignorance within organizations often outweigh the drive to obtain knowledge. Johnson explores both sides of the information-seeking dilemma, the reasons why people do and do not look for and get the information they need - and why the multi-billion-dollar technologies that have been developed to facilitate information gathering so often fail. Research-based, with a model to explain how information seeking works in organizations, Dr. Johnson's book is fascinating, essential reading not only for gatherers of information in all types of organizations, but for the purveyors, their technological support staffs.
Mathematical control theory of couple PDEs
Authors: Ireana Lasiecka
Venue: Siam Series In Applied Mathematics; Vol. 75 (2002)

Mathematical Control Theory of Coupled PDEs is based on a series of lectures that are outgrowths of recent research in the area of control theory for systems governed by coupled PDEs. The book develops new mathematical tools amenable to a rigorous analysis of related control problems and the construction of viable control algorithms. Emphasis is placed on the key role played by two interweaving features of the respective dynamical components: (1)propagaton of signularities and exceptional "sharp" regularity of the traces of the solutions of the hyperbolic component of the structure, and (2) analyticity of the solutions to the parabolic component of the structure, its propagation, and related analytic semigroup (singular) estimates.

Event-based implicit invocation decentralized in Ada
Authors: Liang Xianzhong, Wang Zhenyu
Venue: ACM SIGAda Ada Letters (2002)

Nowadays more and more attraction is drawn by the event-based implicit invocation --- one of useful architectural patterns, because of its loose coupling between components in the architecture and reactive integration in software systems. Analyzing object-oriented interaction with objects, this paper, based upon the principle of software architecture, presents an approach on event-based object model with Ada exception handler. Consequently it is possible for us to improve, with adding specific architectural patterns, traditional programming languages into architectural description languages.

Approximation algorithms for minimum-cost k-vertex connected subgraphs
Authors: Joseph Cheriyan, Santosh Vempala, Adrian Vetta
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) We present two new algorithms for the problem of finding a minimum-cost k-vertex connected spanning subgraph. The first algorithm works on undirected graphs with at least 6k2 vertices and achieves an approximation factor of 6 times the kth harmonic number, which is $O(\log k)$. The second algorithm works on directed and undirected graphs. It gives an $O(\sqrt{ n /\keps})$-approximation algorithm for any $\keps > 0$ and $k \le (1-\keps)n$. The latter algorithm also extends to other problems in network design with vertex connectivity requirements. Our main tools are setpair relaxations, a theorem of Mader's (in the undirected case) and iterative rounding (general case).

Simulation of distribution systems: simulation and analysis of non-automated distribution warehouses
Authors: Soemon Takakuwa, Hiroki Takizawa, Kumiko Ito, Shinichiro Hiraoka
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The distribution warehouse is located between manufacturers and customers. Storage facilities are designed around four primary functions: holding, consolidation, break-bulk, and mixing. In addition, materials handling within a storage-handling system reduces to three primary activities: loading and unloading, movement to and from storage, and order filling. Generally, it is more difficult to build a simulation model for a non-automated warehouse than for AS/RS, because materials handling is much more complicated. In this study, a procedure to build simulation models for move-store activities of complicated and non-automated distribution warehouses is proposed. The simulation model here is designed to execute together with the program for generating parameters of materials handling. Then, simulation analysis is performed, using a simulation model built by the proposed procedure.
Surfing on the Internet: A Nethead's Adventures on-Line, 1st edition
Authors: J.C. C. Herz
Venue:  (1995)

:In secret, underground, an amazing new world has taken shape, an alternate universe where technical communications sit alongside bulletin boards devoted to TV sitcoms, popular music, and every imaginable sexual proclivity. The Internet has its own language, its own rituals, its own code of ethics, and even its own ways of punishing outsiders. Let the newbie beware! Surfing on the Internet is a fearless excursion through this remarkable new world, in the company of one of the most inventive young nonfiction writers at work today. Fueled by Fruity Pebbles and caffeine, J. C. Herz, a digital Dian Fossey loose in the jungle of Net life, embarks on an on-line odyssey. Beginning with worldwide message boards that feature tips for phreaking (phone tapping) and plots to assassinate Barney the purple dinosaur, she brings to life the anarchic sprawl of the Net, exploring the flames (personal tirades), the aliases (one guy she meets has 158), the Net cities and virtual saloons where the digerati congregate. No corner of the Net is beyond the reach of her curiosity, and some of those corners turn out to be pretty dark. Sex on-line has its limitations, for instance (although the cross-gender possibilities are intriguing). There are the out-and-out nuts who stretch even the most liberal free-speech ethos. And there's the chilling case of Kieran, the Internet ghost whose only off-line visitors for months are the people who deliver takeout food to his apartment. When last seen, J. C. Herz is checking into an Internet addicts support group - meeting on-line, of course. Surfing on the Internet is a romp through the frontier of the twenty-first century, and J. C. Herz is a brilliant and daredevil guide. Don't log on without it.
Embedded Autonomy
Authors: Peter B. Evans
Venue:  (1995)

:In recent years, debate on the state's economic role has too often devolved into diatribes against intervention. Peter Evans questions such simplistic views, offering a new vision of why state involvement works in some cases and produces disasters in others. To illustrate, he looks at how state agencies, local entrepreneurs, and transnational corporations shaped the emergence of computer industries in Brazil, India, and Korea during the seventies and eighties. Evans starts with the idea that states vary in the way they are organized and tied to society. In some nations, like Zaire, the state is predatory, ruthlessly extracting and providing nothing of value in return. In others, like Korea, it is developmental, promoting industrial transformation. In still others, like Brazil and India, it is in-between, sometimes helping, sometimes hindering. Evans's years of comparative research on the successes and failures of state involvement in the process of industrialization have here been crafted into a persuasive and entertaining work, which demonstrates that successful state action requires an understanding of its own limits, a realistic relationship to the global economy, and the combination of coherent internal organization and close links to society that Evans calls "embedded autonomy."
