Tracing India's invisible threads

Tracing a Faint Fingerprint of the Invisible Hand?

Any economic agent constituting the monetary economy maintains the activity of monetary flow equilibration for fulfilling the condition of monetary flow continuity in the record, except at the central bank. At the same time, monetary flow equilibration at one economic agent constantly induces at other agents in the economy further flow disequilibrium to be eliminated subsequently. We propose th...

Tracing the threads: How five moral concerns (especially Purity) help explain culture war attitudes

Commentators have noted that the issue stands taken by each side of the American ‘‘culture war’’ lack conceptual consistency and can even seem contradictory. We sought to understand the psychological underpinnings of culture war attitudes using Moral Foundations Theory. In two studies involving 24,739 participants and 20 such issues (e.g. abortion, immigration, same-sex marriage), we found that...

Visualization and Performance Prediction of Multithreaded Solaris Programs by Tracing Kernel Threads

Efficient performance tuning of parallel programs is often hard. We present a performance prediction and visualization tool called VPPB. Based on a monitored uni-processor execution, VPPB shows the (predicted) behaviour of a multithreaded program using any number of processors and the program behaviour is visualized as a graph. The first version of VPPB was unable to handle I/O operations. This...

Distributed Shared-Memory Threads: DSM-Threads

This paper is, to our knowledge, the rst description of a system to support distributed threads on top of POSIX Threads (Pthreads) via distributed virtual shared memory (DSM). The aim of DSMThreads is to provide an easy way for a programmer to migrate from a concurrent programming model with shared memory (Pthreads) to a distributed model with minimal changes of the application code. Thus, a pr...
