A Performance Evaluation of the Acorn Architecture

چکیده
ACORN Agent based Community Oriented Retrieval Network is a multi agent system which uses agents to provide information across inter net intranet networks In this report we adapt the ACORN architecture for its performance evaluation on single and multiple servers running on single and multiple machines In order to evaluate the performance of ACORN we introduce a novel concept of multiple autonomous virtual users The concept of multiple autonomous virtual users and our testing philosophy is applicable to the performance evaluation of other client server based multi agent systems The modi ed ACORN architecture has been ported to di erent machines and experimental results on single processors obtained The processing time re quired by ACORN is found to be a nonlinear function of the number of agents

متن کاملAge-Specific Response of Broilers to Dietary Inclusion of a High-Tannin Feedstuff
The aim of this study was to determine whether the age of broilers can influence their response to tannin-rich diets. A total of 340 one-day-old mixed sex Ross 308 broiler chicks were distributed among five experimental groups with four replicates and 17 birds each in a completely randomized design. A high-tannin feedstuff, Oak acorn, was included into diets (at a level of 25%) and fed to birds...
متن کاملEffects of Dietary Inclusion of Raw or Treated Iranian Oak Acorn (Quercus brantii Lindl.) on the Performance and Cecal Bacteria of Broilers
The effects of raw and sodium hydrogen carbonate-treated oak acorn were evaluated on broiler chicken performance and cecal flora. A total of 340 one-day-old broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with five experimental treatments and four replicates with 17 birds each. A corn-based diet served as the control and four treatment groups were diets containing 20 or 25% raw or tr...
متن کاملAdding Iranian oak acorn (Quercus brantii) to the diet of common carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) and its effects on growth performance, carcass composition and resistance to salinity stress
At this study, the effects of adding Iranian acorn flour on growth performance, carcass composition and resistance to salinity stress of common carp were investigated. Experimental diets included: 1) without acorn and not autoclaved diet; 2) without acorn and autoclaved diet for 2 minutes; 3) without acorn and autoclaved diet for 10 minutes; 4) with 10 percent acorn and not autoclaved diet; 5) ...
