Java possesses many advantages for embedded system development, including fast product deployment, portability, security, and a small memory footprint. As Java makes inroads into the market for embedded systems, much effort is being invested in designing real-time garbage collectors. The proposed garbage-collected memory module, a bitmap-based processor with standard DRAM cells is introduced to...

We believe that many distributed computing systems of the future will use distributed shared memory as a technique for interprocess communication. Thus, traffic generated by memory requests will be a major component of the traffic for any networks which connect nodes in such a system. In this paper, we study memory reference strings gathered with a tracing program we devised. We study several m...

introduction: previous studies have demonstrated that the &beta-adrenergic; receptor antagonist propranolol impairs fear memory reconsolidation in experimental animals. there are experimental parameters such as the age and the strength of memory that can interact with pharmacological manipulations of memory reconsolidation. in this study, we investigated the ability of the age and the strength ...

The representation of navigable space, consisting of multiple interconnected spaces, yet is not well understood. We examined different levels of integration within memory (local, regional, global). Participants learned two distinctive regions of a virtual environment that converged at a common transition-point. Subsequently, we tested their memory with a pointing task, varying body alignment du...

Exposure of rodents to a stimulating environment has beneficial effects on some cognitive functions that are impaired during physiological aging, and especially spatial reference memory. The present study investigated whether environmental enrichment rescues these functions in already declining subjects and/or protects them from subsequent decline. Subgroups of 17-mo-old female rats with unimpa...

Declarative data parallel programming for shared memory multiprocessor systems implies paradigm-specific demands on the organisation of memory management. As a key feature of declarative programming implicit memory management is indispensable. Yet, the memory objects to be managed are very different from those that are predominant in general-purpose functional or object-oriented languages. Rath...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of estrogen and progesterone on spatial memory in ovariectomized female rats, specifically, on memory impaired by the cholinergic antagonist scopolamine. Forty-one female rats were divided into five groups: ovariectomized (OVX), estrogen-treated after ovariectomy (OE), progesterone-treated after ovariectomy (OP), estrogen-progesterone-treated ...

OBJECTIVES Similarity to the self has been shown to affect memory for impressions in younger adults, suggesting a self-reference effect in person memory. Because older adults show comparable self-reference effects, but prioritize memory for positive over negative information relative to young adults, we examined age differences in self-similarity effects on memory for positive and negative impr...

The self-reference effect (SRE), by which encoding of information is done in a self-referential manner (e.g., "Does the word describe you?"), enhances subsequent memory performance. It is thought to reflect that self-reference is a highly practiced task in everyday life. Accordingly, it is expected that the types of tasks that produce memory enhancement vary according to individual differences ...

parallel computer architecture; high performance system design; system bus; caches; memory hierarchies; shared memory machines Memory latency, bandwidth, and locality of reference will play larger roles in future parallel systems as processors speed up relative to main memory latency. Using an instruction level PA-RISe multiprocessor simulator, we examined hardware and software techniques that ...
