چکیده
The strategy that sleeping sickness parasites use to evade the mammalian immune system may be linked to the metamorphosis that allows them to transfer from mammals into tsetse flies.

Generic Multiversion STM
Multiversion software transactional memory (STM) allows a transaction to read old values of a recently updated object, after which the transaction may serialize before transactions that committed earlier in physical time. This ability to “commit in the past” is particularly appealing for long-running read-only transactions, which may otherwise starve in many STM systems, because short-running p...
متن کاملCondition Variables and Transactional Memory: Problem or Opportunity?
Condition variables complement locks by allowing a program to specify the order of execution. They have been in use, largely unchanged, for three decades and have proved to be a robust and scalable synchronization mechanism. However, most transactional memory (TM) systems provide no complementary mechanism. While new synchronization constructs have been proposed for TM, it seems prudent to supp...
متن کاملReducing the Latency of Non-Blocking Commitment using Optimism and Replication
Atomic commitment protocols are used to ensure the atomicity of atomic transactions. The best known and most widely used atomic commitment protocol is two phase commit (2PC). The main idea behind 2PC is to perform two rounds of voting under the guidance of a site acting as coordinator. The coordinator asks first for votes on whether to commit (yes vote) or abort (no vote) the transaction. The p...
متن کاملProxy based Two Phase Commit with Wait for Improved Response Time and Blocking Probability
Whereas the two-phase commit protocol guarantees global atomicity, its biggest drawback is that it is a blocking protocol whenever the coordinator fails, cohort sites will have to wait for its recovery. Although threephase commit protocol was devised to reduce blocking situation, it increases latency. In this paper we propose a proxy based two-phase atomic commitment protocol to improve the per...
متن کاملThe use and effectiveness of anti-virus software
This study evaluates the effectiveness of currently available antivirus software. The brand of anti-virus software appears to make a slight difference in identifying viruses on network servers. When individual company workstations were evaluated, no significant differences were detected across products. In general, current users are satisfied with their anti-virus software. Adequate financial r...
