Cold Hard Cache: The Arctic Drilling Controversy

Evaluation of Cache Partitioning for Hard Real-Time Systems

In hard real-time systems, cache partitioning is often suggested as a means of increasing the predictability of caches in pre-emptively scheduled systems: when a task is assigned its own cache partition, inter-task cache eviction is avoided, and timing verification is reduced to the standard worstcase execution time (WCET) analysis used in non-pre-emptive systems. The downside of cache partitio...

Dynamic Instruction Cache Locking in Hard Real-Time Systems

Cache memories have been widely used in order to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories, and thus to improve the overall performance of systems. However in the context of hard real-time systems, they are a source of predictability problems. A lot of progress has been achieved to model caches to statically determine safe and precise bounds on the worst-c...

Hard photon and neutral pion production in cold nuclear matter

The production of hard photons and neutral pions in 190 MeV proton induced reactions on C, Ca, Ni, and W targets has been for the first time concurrently studied. Angular distributions and energy spectra up to the kinematical limit are discussed and the production cross-sections are presented. From the target mass dependence of the cross-sections the propagation of pions through nuclear matter ...

Hard dense loops in a cold non-Abelian plasma.

Classical transport theory is used to study the response of a non-Abelian plasma at zero temperature and high chemical potential to weak color electromagnetic fields. In this article the parallelism between the transport phenomena occurring in a non-Abelian plasma at high temperature and high density is stressed. Particularly, it is shown that at high densities it is also possible to relate the...
