Dependence Clusters Causes
نویسنده
چکیده
A dependence cluster is a maximal set of program components that all depend upon one another. For small programs, programmers as well as static-analysis tools can overcome the negative effects of large dependence clusters. However, this ability diminished as program size increases. Thus, the existence of large dependence clusters presents a serious challenge to the scalability of modern software. Recent ongoing work into the existence and causes of dependence clusters is presented. A better understanding of clusters and their causes is a precursor to the construction of more informed analysis tools and ideally the eventual breaking or proactive avoidance of large dependence clusters.

Scaling relations in dynamical evolution of star clusters
We have carried out a series of small scale collisional N-body calculations of single-mass star clusters to investigate the dependence of the lifetime of star clusters on their initial parameters. Our models move through an external galaxy potential with a logarithmic density profile and they are limited by a cut-off radius. In order to find scaling relations between the lifetime of star cluste...
متن کاملInfluence of energy and entropy on the melting of sodium clusters.
Energetic and entropic influences on the melting temperatures of size selected sodium clusters are experimentally separated. It is shown that the energetic difference between solid and liquid is the leading influence for the still puzzling features in the size dependence of sodium melting points. Additionally, this energy difference decreases towards smaller cluster sizes and causes steplike me...
متن کاملNonclassical dipoles in cold niobium clusters
Electric deflections of niobium clusters in molecular beams show that they have permanent electric dipole moments at cryogenic temperatures but not higher temperatures, indicating that they are ferroelectric. Detailed analysis shows that the deflections cannot be explained in terms of a rotating classical dipole, as claimed by Andersen et al.. The shapes of the deflected beam profiles and their...
متن کاملScaling of N-body calculations
We report results of collisional N -body simulations aimed to study the N -dependance of the dynamical evolution of star clusters. Our clusters consist of equal-mass stars and are in virial equilibrium. Clusters moving in external tidal fields and clusters limited by a cut-off radius are simulated. Our main focus is to study the dependence of the lifetimes of the clusters on the number of clust...
متن کاملSize Dependence of the Energetics of Electron Attachment to Large Water Clusters
The size dependence of the binding energy of a localized excess electron in large water clusters originates from long-range polarization interactions. The vertical and adiabatic binding energies of compact, interior excess electron states in (H20); clusters, obtained from quantum path-integral moleculardynamics simulations, exhibit a linear dependence on n I/‘, in quantitative agreement with th...
