Single-core performance increases have stalled. To increase available cycles, microprocessor designers have shifted to chip-multiprocessor (CMP) designs. Unfortunately, the additional processors provided by CMPs may remain idle because most applications lack dataparallelism and task-parallelism is unlikely to saturate future CMP designs. The systems community needs to rethink how systems are st...

Methods We used Markov transition models to compare the expected lifetime gain in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) of OIT to CMP versus strict avoidance of CMP. Models were run for base cases of 6to 16-yearold children with CMA requiring strict CMP avoidance. Rates of transition to the partial or full desensitization and complete tolerance states, utilities for each state, and disutilities a...

The Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) architecture offers dramatically faster retrieval of shared data which is cached on-chip rather than in an off-chip memory. Remote cache requests are handled through a cache coherence protocol. In order to obtain the best possible performance with the CMP architecture, the cache coherence protocol must be optimized to reduce time lost during remote cache and offchi...

Developing methods to construct conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with desirable structures is a crucial undertaking. However, obtaining azo-CMPs extended azaacene cores immensely challenging. Herein, we disclose the facile synthesis of diquinoxalino[2,3-a:2?,3?-c]-phenazine-core CMP (3Qn-CMP; core diameter, ?1.6 nm) via one-step hydrothermal homocoupling nitro monomers in mixture solution...

Changes in levels of the newly discovered cytidine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic CMP) phosphodiesterase in some representative tissues (cerebral cortex, kidney, intestine, liver, heart, and lung) of guinea pigs from various developmental stages (fetus, neonate, pup, and adult) were studied and compared with those of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterases in the same tissues. It was o...

BACKGROUND In elderly patients who have atrial fibrillation (AF), surgical ablation of the arrhythmia during cardiac surgery may be challenging. Despite the reported advantages of ablating AF with the Cox maze procedure (CMP), the addition of the CMP may complicate other cardiac operations. We evaluated the effect of the CMP in elderly patients concurrent with other cardiac operations. METHOD...

As device sizes are scaled to sub-micron dimensions, planarization technology becomes increasingly important, both for bipolar and CMOS trench isolation and for multi-level interconnects and wiring. Although chemi-mechanical polishing (CMP) has been used extensively in silicon technology for wafer preparation[l,2], it is only recently that CMP has emerged as a new technique for achieving a high...
