In this paper, we propose a new bricked cache system suitable for a particular surface propagation algorithm : seismic horizon reconstruction. The application domain of this algorithm is the interpretation of seismic volumes used, for instance, by petroleum companies for oil prospecting. To ensure the optimality of such surface extraction, the algorithm must access randomly into the data volume...

The modeling and/or simulation analysis of a game between a manager or a government can be used to assess the risk of some management strategies and public policies given the anticipated response of the other side. Three examples are presented in this chapter: first, a principal-agent model designed to support the management of a project's development under tight resource (e.g., time) constrain...

We describe the structure and functionality of the Internet Cache Protocol (ICP) and its implementation in the Squid Web Caching software. ICP is a lightweight message format used for communication among Web caches. Caches exchange ICP queries and replies to gather information to use in selecting the most appropriate location from which to retrieve an object. We present background on the histor...

In cloud computing, multiple users can share the same physical machine that can potentially leak secret information, in particular when the memory de-duplication is enabled. Flush+Reload attack is a cache-based attack that makes use of resource sharing. T-table implementation of AES is commonly used in the crypto libraries like OpenSSL. Several Flush+Reload attacks on T-table implementat...

This paper presents qualitative results from interviews with knowledge workers about their recovery strategies after interruptions. Special focus is given to when these strategies fail due to the nature of the interruption and existing computer support. Potential solutions offered by participants to overcome some of these problems are presented. These findings will benefit researchers and desig...

conclusions according to the findings, there has been a rise in the number of unsafe actions in machinery and maintenance service units compared to other maintenance units. as such, training courses based on the behavior-based safety principles at the beginning of employment, close monitoring of health safety environment (hse) officials on the implementation of regulations, and provision of app...

Biomass can be utilized to produce bio-oil, a promising alternative energy source for the limited crude oil. There are mainly two processes involved in the conversion of biomass to bio-oil: flash pyrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction. The cost of bio-oil production from biomass is relatively high based on current technologies, and the main challenges are the low yield and poor bio-oil quality...

Memories occupy a significant area of chip real estate and are major contributors to total system energy consumption. Furthermore, the guard-banding required for masking the effects of ever-increasing manufacturing variability in memories imposes significant power overhead. In this Technical Report, we explore the opportunity for exploiting the intrinsic tolerance of a vast class of application...
