Allocating registers in multiple instruction-issuing processors
This work addresses the problem of scheduling a basic block of operations on a multiple instruction-issuing processor. We show that integrating register constraints into operation sequencing algorithms is a complex problem in itself. Indeed, while scheduling a forest of unit time operations on a processor with P parallel instruction slots can be solved in polynomial time, the problem becomes NP...

متن کاملOnline Strategy Instruction for Integrating Dictionary Skills and Language Awareness
Jim Ranalli, Iowa State University This paper explores the feasibility of an automated, online form of L2 strategy instruction (SI) as an alternative to conventional, classroom-based forms that rely primarily on teachers. Feasibility was evaluated by studying the effectiveness, both actual and perceived, of a five-week, online SI course designed to teach web-based dictionary skills integrated w...
متن کاملHow Does Explicit and Implicit Instruction of Formal Meta-discourse Markers Affect Learners’ Oral Proficiency?
Meta-discourse markers are an inevitable part of oral proficiency which improve both the quality and comprehension of learners’ speech. While studies of oral meta-discourse have been conducted since the 1980s in a European or US context, they have remained relatively untouched in Iran. Therefore, this study aimed to seek the impact of both explicit and implicit teaching of formal meta-discourse...
