Gamma on Dec 2114x with Eecient Flow Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
GAMMA is a prototype lightweight communication system based on the Active Ports paradigm, designed for eecient implementation over Fast Ethernet interconnects. The original implementation started in 1996 based on 3Com 3C595 cards. The optimizations obtained on that NICs allowed us to obtain the lowest latency and highest throughput results ever published in the literature for Fast Ethernet. Technology evolved, however, and now all low-cost NICs available are based on Descriptor Based DMA (DBDMA) transfers, originally introduced by the DEC chipset 21140. In this paper we report on the re-implementation of the GAMMA prototype for the DEC NICs exploiting the new transfer modes and achieving substantially equivalent performance gures. We also describe the addition of an eecient ow-control algorithm, that allows loss-free communications without seriously aaecting performance.

Resistance to cutaneous graft-vs.-host disease is not induced in T cell receptor delta gene-mutant mice
The function of murine dendritic epidermal cells (dEC) remains largely speculative, probably because of the lack of a suitable in vivo model, although previous studies suggest that gamma/delta+ dEC may have originally evolved to serve as a self-protection mechanism(s). Our previous study demonstrated that the epidermis of mice that had spontaneously recovered from cutaneous graft-vs-host diseas...

An eecient sparse LU factorization algorithm on popular shared memory mul-tiprocessors is presented. Interprocess communication is critically important on these architectures-the algorithm introduces O(n) synchronization events only. No global barrier is used and a completely asynchronous scheduling scheme is one central point of the implementation. The algorithm aims at optimizing the single n...
متن کاملGenerating Eecient Code from Data-flow Programs
This paper presents the techniques applied in compiling the synchronous data-ow language Lustre. The most original technique consists in synthesising an eecient control structure, by simulating the behavior of boolean variables at compile-time. Here, the techniques are explained on a small subset of Lustre.

Quantitative Doppler ultrasonographic flow velocity determinations are reported from 39 normal control subjects and 80 patients with angiographically documented peripheral arterial disease, in whom femoral, posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis arteries were studied. The mean control values of the most useful parameters were: femoral artery: peak forward velocity (PFV) cm/sec: 40.7 +/- 10.9, dece...

The soybean (Glycine max l. merr) is one of oil seed plants from leguminous family. In this study, the effect of gamma radiation on chlorophyll, soluble and insoluble carbohydrate and composition oil seeds were investigated in soybean. Soybean variety J.K was irradiated with 0,100,200 and 300 gamma ray. The treatment and control seeds planed in with four replicates. The highest amount of total ...
