Reliable Replication at Low Cost
The emerging global scientific collaborations demand a scalable, efficient, reliable, and still convenient data access and management scheme. To fulfill these requirements, this paper describes a replicated file system that supports mutable (i.e., read/write) replication with strong consistency guarantees, small performance penalty, high failure resilience, and good scaling properties. The pape...
متن کاملPredicting Customer-Expectation-Based Warranty Cost for Smaller-the- Better and Larger-the-Better Performance Characteristics
The quality loss function assumes a fixed target and only accounts for immediate issues within manufacturing facilities whereas warranty loss occurs during customer use. Based on the two independent variables, product performance and consumers’ expectation, a methodology to predict the probability of customer complaint is presented in this paper. The formulation presented will serve as a basic ...
متن کاملLow-cost, High-Performance Translation Retrieval: Dumber is Better
In this paper, we compare the relative effects of segment order, segmentation and segment contiguity on the retrieval performance of a translation memory system. We take a selection of both bag-of-words and segment order-sensitive string comparison methods, and run each over both characterand word-segmented data, in combination with a range of local segment contiguity models (in the form of N-g...
متن کامل2PFC Image Sensors: Better Image Quality at Lower Cost
A modification to the standard Bayer CFA and photodiode structure for CMOS image sensors is proposed, which we call 2PFC, meaning “Two Pixel, Full Color”. The blue and red filters of the Bayer pattern are replaced by magenta filters. Under each magenta filter are two stacked, pinned photodiodes; the diode nearest the surface absorbs mostly blue light and the deeper diode absorbs mostly red ligh...
متن کاملBetter Product at Same Cost, Lower Sales and Lower Welfare
We analyze the effect of product quality on the output of a high-quality dominant firm facing a low-quality competitive fringe. Using a standard vertical differentiation model, we show that profit maximizing output decreases with product quality when the dominant firm’s marginal cost is lower than that of the fringe, is independent of quality when marginal cost is the same for all firms, and is...
