Rewarding Idleness
Market wages re ect expected productivity, making use of signals of past performance and past experience. These signals are generated at least partially on the job, creating incentives for agents to choose high pro le and highly visible tasks. When agents have private information about the profitability of di erent tasks, rms may wish to prevent over-investment in those that entail signaling, b...
متن کاملEfficient Management of System Idleness
Various activities that intend to enhance performance, reliability, and availability of systems are scheduled with low priority and served during system idle times. Under such conditions, idleness becomes a valuable “resource” that needs to be efficiently managed. A common approach in system design is to be non-work-conserving by “idle waiting”, i.e., delay scheduling of background jobs to avoi...
متن کاملIdleness is Not Sloth
spend much of their time idle, and various schemes have been proposed to use this idle time productively. We have used this approach to improve overall performance in storage systems. The most common approach is to off-load activity from busy periods to less-busy ones in order to improve system responsiveness. In addition, speculative work can be performed in idle periods in the hope that it wi...
متن کاملVon Neumann, Self-Reproduction and the Constitution of Nanophenomena
As part of a larger study of the immediate antecedents of nanoscience and nanotechnology, I examine, in this paper, the role played by John von Neumann’s work on self-reproduction in the constitution of these fields (see especially von Neumann 1951, 1956 and 1966). Von Neumann’s proposals have always been characterized by an overall unified vision, in which, depending on the domain under consid...
متن کاملPower Capping Via Forced Idleness
We introduce a novel power capping technique, IdleCap, that achieves higher effective server frequency for a given power constraint than existing techniques. IdleCap works by repeatedly alternating between the highest performance state and a low-power idle state, maintaining a fixed average power budget, while significantly increasing the average processor frequency. In experiments conducted on...
