Pertaining to Agent-based Computational Economics (ACE), this work presents two models for the rise and downfall of speculative bubbles through an exchange price fixing based on a double auction mechanism. The first model is based in a finite time horizon context where total expected dividends decrease along with time. The second model follows the greater fool hypothesis: an agent behaviour dep...

A compile-time analysis technique is developed to derive the probability with which a user-defined function or a supercombinator requires each one of its arguments. This provides a basis for identifying useful speculative parallelism in a program. The performance of speculative evaluation is compared with that of lazy evaluation, and the necessary conditions under which speculative evaluation p...

The founding fathers of modern philosophy culture, the neo-Kantians, and especially Southwest school, brought concept culture into play as a counter to that nature. Taking Heinrich Rickert?s conception starting point, article shows how is conceived self-formation (concrete) subject (agent). It leads transcendental idealism freedom, typical Kantian type philosophy. However, in this self world fo...

This paper describes a simple hardware mechanism and related compiler support for software-controlled speculative loads. The compiler issues speculative load instructions based on anticipated data references and the ability of the memory system to hide memory latency in high-performance processors. The architectural support for such a mechanism is simple and minimal, yet handles faults graceful...

a familiar criticism of kant, made by hegel and his followers, j .s. mill and others, is that there are no maxims that are in fact contradictory, as required for morality on kant's view. in this paper, i discuss the suggestion that our capacity for rational reflection itself implies universality, and that it is this universality that obliges us to act morally. i consider the idea that self...

|The speculative multithreading paradigm (speculative thread-level parallelism) is based on the concurrent execution of control-speculative threads. The eeciency of microarchitectures that adopt this paradigm strongly depends on the performance of the control and data speculation techniques. While control speculation is used to predict the most effective points where a thread can be spawned, da...

Speculative multithreading (SpMT) is a parallelizing execution model for single-threaded programs on multi-core architectures. In this paper, we introduce a new SpMT model, Object-Driven Speculative Multithreading, which exploits the structure and semantics of object-oriented programs to generate speculative parallelism. Within our technique, individual program objects take the responsibility t...

This intervention offers a speculative lexicon to help students and scholars of global politics think critically creatively about entanglement. It is neither definitive nor complete, but instead some possible points entry into contested field. mobilises two particular claims: (1) that entanglement always involves both human non-human entities; (2) emergent in process. As whole, this intended us...
