Analysis of Mechanics in Jenga
نویسنده
چکیده
An analysis of the mechanics of extracting blocks from a tower of stacked blocks in the game of Jenga is presented. Translational and rotational moves are analyzed for the likelihood of disturbing other blocks in the tower, with an aim to determine moves which are safe from disturbing other blocks and are robust against change in outcome with different block configurations. Optimal moves are found using translational moves which are robust against tower configurations and keep the tower undisturbed.

Jenga: Sotware-Defined Cache Hierarchies
Caches are traditionally organized as a rigid hierarchy, with multiple levels of progressively larger and slower memories. Hierarchy allows a simple, fixed design to benefit a wide range of applications, since working sets settle at the smallest (i.e., fastest and most energy-efficient) level they fit in. However, rigid hierarchies also add overheads, because each level adds latency and energy ...

Conventional memory systems are organized as a rigid hierarchy, with multiple levels of progressively larger and slower memories. Hierarchy allows a simple, fixed design to benefit a wide range of applications, because working sets settle at the smallest (and fastest) level they fit in. However, rigid hierarchies also cause significant overheads, because each level adds latency and energy even ...
متن کاملFracture Mechanics Analysis of Fourth Lumbar Vertebra in Method of Finite Element Analysis
Objective: In this paper, finite element model of the L4 vertebra subjected to combination of compression and flexion loading in isotropic and anisotropic cases is investigated. Methods: In both cases, the vertebra is considered homogeneous. Also, the body of vertebra is divided to cancellous and cortical sections in anisotropic model, but the process is assumed isotropic such as isotropic mode...
