Conventional gang scheduling has the disadvantage that when processes perform I/O or blocking communication, their processors remain idle because alternative processes cannot be run independently of their own gangs. To alleviate this problem, we suggest a slight relaxation of this rule: match gangs that make heavy use of the CPU with gangs that make light use of the CPU (presumably due to I/O o...

We define an elliptic equation for Hermitian metrics which is related to the Einstein condition. Solutions to this equation are closely related to Kähler-Einstein metrics, and are automatically Kähler-Einstein when a certain non-positive condition is satisfied by c1(M). Given this, a natural flow equation arises taking Hermitian metrics to Kähler metrics. We prove short time existence and regul...

 Using a single traditional gang scheduling algorithm cannot provide the best performance for all workloads and parallel architectures. A solution for this problem is the use of an algorithm that is capable of dynamically changing its form (configuration) into a more appropriate one, according to environment variations and user requirements. In this paper, we propose, implement and analyze the...

The explosive growth of user data on the Internet has introduced significant security threats. In recent years, large data breaches and malicious content distribution (spam, malware) become prevalent. With the rapid adoption of mobile and wearable devices, user data now includes a wide range of personal mobile and physical data. It ranges from GPS location traces, to biometrics data, to user in...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of two different gang-lines on pulling angle sled dogs. It was hypothesised that dogs would run with a straighter pull (in relation main-line) in stick (STICK) than they do traditional (TRAD). Eight dogs, divided into teams, ran 3.1 km trail twice both types gang-lines, quadbike dry ground. Each dog remained its team same position (side gang line, and ...

Social media connects youth to peers who share shared experiences and support; however, urban gang-involved youth navigate ‘the digital street’ following a script that may incite violence. Urban gang-involved youth use SNS to brag and insult and make threats a concept known as Internet banging. Recent research suggests Internet banging has resulted in serious injury and homicide. We argue viole...
