Hidden Costs in Avoiding False Sharing in Software DSMs

Page based software DSMs experience high degrees of false sharing especially in irregular applications with fine grain sharing granularity. The overheads due to false sharing is considered to be the dominant factor limiting the performance of software DSMs. Several approaches have been proposed in the literature to reduce/eliminate false sharing. In this paper, we evaluate two of these approach...

Avoiding Whitewashing in Unstructured Peer-to-Peer Resource Sharing Network

In peer-to-peer file sharing network, it is hard to distinguish between a legitimate newcomer and a whitewasher. This makes whitewashing a big problem in peerto-peer networks. Although the problem of whitewashing can be solved using permanent identities, it may take away the right of anonymity for users. In this paper, we a have proposed a novel algorithm to avoid this problem when network uses...

Two Kinds of Climate Justice: Avoiding Harm and Sharing Burdens

THE overwhelming majority of climate scientists hold that humanity is facing the prospect of severe climate change and the Assessment Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) contain some stark warnings. In the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report, the ‘best estimate’ of the increase in global mean temperatures in the period between 1980–1999 and 2080–2099 ranged from 1.8°C (B...

I-32: Avoiding OHSS in Ovarian Stimulation

Multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) are the most serious complications of ovarian stimulation and IVF. Indeed, they are more or less the only ones. OHSS can effectively be prevented in three stages: Before stimulation, during stimulation and at ET. Before stimulation patients should be assessed as to age, the ovarian follicular count and/or anti mullerian hormone ...
