Comparing Multiported Cache Schemes

The performance of the data memory hierarchy is extremely important in current and near future high performance superscalar microprocessors. To address the memory gap, computer designers implement caches to reduce the high memory latencies that are observed in the processor. Due to the ever increasing instruction window sizes and issue widths in new microprocessor designs, designers will need t...

Termination criteria for inexact fixed-point schemes

We analyze inexact fixed point iterations where the generating function contains an inexact solve of an equation system to answer the question of how tolerances for the inner solves influence the iteration error of the outer fixed point iteration. Important applications are the Picard iteration and partitioned fluid structure interaction. We prove that the iteration converges irrespective of ho...

Comparing Usage - Based Pricing Schemes for Broadbandnetworks

Tarii structures where charges depend on resource usage allow network operators to fairly recover costs from their customers. The notion of eeective bandwidth is an important mathematical abstraction to the complex problem of quantifying resource usage. We consider usage-based pricing schemes which are based on some bound of the eeective bandwidth and involve two measurements: the duration of a...

Comparing linguistic interpretation schemes for English corpora

Project AMALGAM explored a range of Partof-Speech tagsets and phrase structure parsing schemes used in modern English corpus-based research. The PoS-tagging schemes and parsing schemes include some which have been used for hand annotation of corpora or manual postediting of automatic taggers or parsers; and others which are unedited output of a parsing program. Project deliverables include: a d...
