Coscheduling has been shown to be a critical factor in achieving efficient parallel execution in timeshared environments [12, 19, 4]. However, the most common approach, gang scheduling, has limitations in scaling, can compromise good interactive response, and requires that communicating processes be identified in advance. We explore a technique called dynamic coscheduling (DCS) which produces e...

Background: Workstation ergonomic designs, if inappropriate, can lead to exposure risk factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The objective this study was evaluate workstation university administrative staff. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional conducted on staff workers in the universities Rawalpindi and Islamabad from July 2021- June 2022. Nonprobability convenient sampling emp...

Long hours of static work with awkward posture at traditionally designed looms can cause high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among carpet weavers. A comprehensive study was conducted in this industry with the objectives of determination of MSDs symptoms prevalence; identification of major factors associated with MSDs symptoms in carpet weaving occupation; and development of guid...

System level simulators allow computer architects and system software designers to recreate an accurate and complete replica of the program behavior of a target system, regardless of the availability, existence, or instrumentation support of such a system. Applications include evaluation of architectural design alternatives as well as software engineering tasks such as traditional debugging and...

A Cyber-Workstation (CW) to study in vivo, real-time interactions between computational models and large-scale brain subsystems during behavioral experiments has been designed and implemented. The design philosophy seeks to directly link the in vivo neurophysiology laboratory with scalable computing resources to enable more sophisticated computational neuroscience investigation. The architectur...

We are building an inspection workstation development environment to use as a testbed for understanding what types of knowledge, e.g., data, algorithms, and processes, can increase the productivity of inspection operations. Inspection can be more efficient through reducing the need for fixturing, integrating the generation of process plans and their execution within the controller, and reducing...

Pain in the upper extremity, particufariy in the neck and shoulder region is a major source of work place injuries in i ndust ri esThe occurrence of such occupational injuries is also on the rise. Shoulder and neck pain has been associateâ with awkward and statïc postures, repetitive a m movements and lack of rest A W a r d working postures at the trunk, neck and shoulderç may be caused by a nu...

The application of Remote Laser Welding (RLW) has become an attractive assembly technology in various branches of industry, as it offers higher efficiency at lower costs compared to traditional Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) when high volumes of sheet metal assemblies are to be produced. However, the introduction of RLW technology raises multiple new issues in designing the configuration, the la...
