Non-Uniform Memory Access architectures introduce a new level of difficulty to programmers. Without the knowledge of the underlying runtime the performance of programs can suffer because they are unaware of the difference in memory latencies in NUMA systems. We seek to alleviate this issue by implementing a runtime that schedules computations on individual NUMA nodes, hopefully countering this ...

This paper describes a state space discretization scheme based on statistical experimental designs generated from orthogonal arrays of strength three with index unity. Chen et al. (1997) used this eecient discretization scheme to approximately solve high-dimensional continuous-state stochastic dynamic programming (SDP). Prior methods discretized the state space with a nite grid. The orthogonal ...

In this paper we present tehniques to to improve the performance TCP/IP over satellite-ATM networks, and to provide minimum rate guarantees to VCs carrying TCP/IP traac. Many future systems are proposing to use ATM or ATM like technology to transport TCP/IP based data. These systems must be designed to support best eeort services, as well as enhanced services that provide minimum rate guarantee...

Micromotion-induced interstitial fluid flow at the bone-implant interface has been proposed to play an important role in aseptic loosening of cementless implants. High fluid velocities are thought to promote aseptic loosening through activation of osteoclasts, shear stress induced control of mesenchymal stem cells differentiation, or transport of molecules. In this study, our objectives were to...

Restaurant inspection reports are an important source of information for the public to evaluate food safety practices at restaurants. This study examined the effect of information source and message style on consumer responses to restaurant inspection reports. The study employed a three (Information source: local health department, newspaper or consumer blog) x three (Message style: numeric, le...
