The complexity of the Kn,n-problem for node replacement graph languages
Authors: Konstantin Skodinis
Venue: Information and Computation (2001)

The bounded Kn,n-problem is the question whether or not a graph language of a given graph grammar contains arbitrarily large complete bipartite subgraphs Kn,n. In this paper, we investigate the complexity of this problem for all relevant classes of node replacement graph grammers. Our main result states that the bounded K n,n-problem is NL-complete for reduced nonblocking eNCE graph grammars and for reduced linear NCE graph grammars. As an application, our results settle the complexity of the problems whether or not the graph language of a given confluent, boundary, or linear graph grammar has bounded tree-width and whether or not it is an HR graph language.

Integration of dynamic voltage scaling and soft real-time scheduling for open mobile systems
Authors: Wanghong Yuan, Klara Nahrstedt
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th international workshop on Network and operating systems support for digital audio and video (2002)

Battery-powered mobile devices are becoming increasingly important computing platforms, which require low energy consumption while meeting the resource demands of a dynamic application workload. Most proposed dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) algorithms, targeting either best-effort or hard real-time systems, however, cannot be directly applied to such open mobile systems. This paper presents a framework to integrate DVS into soft real-time (SRT) scheduling for open mobile systems, achieving energy saving of DVS while preserving resource guarantees of SRT scheduling. The integrated framework makes three major contributions. First, multimedia applications reserve resource based on their average resource usage, without the knowledge of worst-case execution time, which is difficult to estimate in an open mobile environment. Second, the SRT scheduling ensures the correctness of reservation admission and enforcement in a variable speed context. Finally, the DVS manager reduces the processor energy consumption by utilizing the unallocated resource, reclaiming the allocated but unused resource, or avoiding the unused resource. Our extensive simulation results demonstrate that our framework is able to save 4% to 32% energy while slightly affecting application performance.

A 3D XML-based customized framework for dynamic models
Authors: Taewoo Kim, Paul A. Fishwick
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh international conference on 3D Web technology (2002)

There are numerous forms for dynamic models, which specify how an object or scene behaves over time. Discrete state automata, Petri nets, and data flow graphs are only a few samples of model types available, which aid modelers in capturing dynamics. Whereas most modeling frameworks employ rigidly defined textual or 2D symbols for representing such abstract entities as state, event, and function, we present a system called rube that allows the modeler to craft models in 3D, and with personalized metaphors. The advantages of this system lie in the education of modeling dynamic systems, and in the exploitation of customization in the user interface. We use extensible 3D (X3D), and XML technology, to demonstrate rube, along with an example.

Cycle time and capacity planning: analysis of the instationary behavior of a wafer fab during product mix changes
Authors: Mathias A. Dümmler
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

This paper presents a series of experiments that were conducted to investigate in the instationary behavior of a wafer fab after changes in product mix. The experiments were performed using a simulation model of the front end area of an existing semiconductor fab. We observe how short-term increases in wafer starts of a product influence the cycle time and WIP of this product and of the other products. It is examined how the fab recovers from such production surges under different dispatch rules. We also investigate how different lot start mechanisms affect the short term fab performance. More specifically, we observe the effects of changing the mix of the lots started into the fab on a weekly basis. Finally, we compare two alternative ways of releasing lots into the fab: The first way is to distribute lot starts evenly over a given period, e.g. a week, the other way is to start all lots at the beginning of the period.
Deadlock detection and resolution in a CODASYL based data management system
Authors: Philip P. Macri
Venue: Proceedings of the 1976 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1976)

In a multi-task computer system many different types of situations may occur in which productive computation may be brought to a standstill. One of these is deadlock or "deadly embrace". Some of the earliest investigation into this problem was undertaken by Dijkstra [1], Habermann [2] and Havender [3]. A detailed presentation of the deadlock problem and its ramifications may be found in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].Because deadlock is so costly, modern computer system software is designed so that deadlock is either impossible [6, 7] or the probability of its occurrence is minimized at the system level. For example, the INGRES data base management system [7] accomplishes deadlock prevention without compromising data base integrity. Unfortunately, the CODASYL design [8] does not preclude the possibility of deadlock. It leaves the burden of minimizing the probability of its occurrence to the design of the application. There are two parts to the application design: the database design and the software design. Judicious design of both parts can sometimes minimize deadlock. However, deadlock cannot be prevented in all cases. Therefore, deadlock detection and resolution mechanisms are essential for operation in a multi-thread environment. Initially, the CODASYL based data management system employed (DMS 1100 [11]) had very simple deadlock detection and resolution mechanisms. The deadlock detection mechanism was based on the sufficient condition that deadlock exists when the number of transactions registered with the data management system equals the number of transactions locked out of resources. A least number of page alterations criterion was used by the deadlock resolution mechanism to resolve deadlock. That is, the transaction with the least number of altered pages was rolled back in an attempt to resolve deadlock. If this failed to resolve deadlock, the roll back selection process was repeated until deadlock was resolved. It was discovered that these mechanisms seriously degraded throughput on our system and a new approach was needed. This paper contains a description of the deadlock detection algorithm and the deadlock resolution algorithm which was implemented to overcome this defficiency. The former detects deadlock and the latter resolves deadlock in a manner consistent with maximum system throughput.In order to establish a common framework for discussion, the concepts of lock out and deadlock will be defined before proceeding.
ADir_pNB: A Cost-Effective Way to Implement Full Map Directory-Based Cache Coherence Protocols
Authors: Tao Li, Lizy Kurian John
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

Directories have been used to maintain cache coherency in shared memory multiprocessors with private caches. The traditional full map directory tracks the exact caching status for each shared memory block and is designed to be efficient and simple. Unfortunately, the inherent directory size explosion makes it unsuitable for large-scale multiprocessors. In this paper, we propose a new directory scheme, dubbed associative full map directory ($ADir_pNB$) which reduces the directory storage requirement. The proposed $ADir_pNB$ uses one directory entry to maintain the sharing information for a set of exclusively cached memory blocks in a centralized linked list style. By implementing dynamic cache pointer allocation, reclamation, and replacement hints, $ADir_pNB$ can be implemented as ¿a full map directory with lower directory memory cost.¿ Our analysis indicates that, on a typical architectural paradigm, $ADir_pNB$ reduces memory overhead of a traditional full map directory by up to 70-80 percent. In addition to the low memory overhead, we show that the proposed scheme can be implemented with appropriate protocol modification and hardware addition. Simulation studies indicate that $ADir_pNB$ can achieve a competitive performance with the $Dir_pNB$. Compared with limited directory schemes, $ADir_pNB$ shows more stable and robust performance results on applications across a spectrum of memory sharing and access patterns due to the elimination of directory overflows. We believe that $ADir_pNB$ can be employed as a design alternative of full map directory for moderately large-scale and fine-grain shared memory multiprocessors.
