1.3 [20/20] <1.6> Your colleague at AMD suggests that, since the yield is so poor, you might make chips cheaper if you placed an extra core on the die and only threw out chips on which both processors had failed. We will solve this exercise by viewing the yield as a probability of no defects occurring in a certain area given the defect rate. Calculate probabilities based on each Opteron core se...

• Suppose we have a region T ⊂ S and a functionˆT (x) that equals 1 if x ∈ T and 0 otherwise. (a) Use this information to estimate the volume of T. (b) In what way would your estimate improve if you were given 2n points? 2. Consider the following counting problem. Let C(k) be the number of distinct arrangements of k dimers on a particular lattice. We are told that C(20) = 200, and we want to de...

Four environment builders and participants at two workshops were queried concerning the environment standards, implementations, and technology that prove useful in the integration of tools into software engineering environments. Specific information was gathered about the software and hardware environments in which tool integration occurred, the goals of integration, the tools integrated, mecha...

Case–control studies are used often in epidemiologic studies to investigate the association between disease and one or more risk factors. With increasing frequency, the set of risk factors being considered includes genotypes at one or more susceptibility, candidate, or marker loci (see Markers). The goals of association studies will differ, depending on the state of knowledge about a given dise...

Written primarily for undergraduate and graduate students reading immunology, the 20 case studies are also relevant for medical students and more advanced trainees in internal medicine. The book focuses on hypersensitivity reactions, where patients present physiologic responses and tissue damage to normally innocuous substances as a result of enhanced sensitivity. The authors chose to present c...

Current computing systems are becoming increasingly complex in nature and exhibit large variations in workloads. These changing environments create challenges to the design of systems that can adapt themselves while maintaining desired Quality of Service (QoS), security, dependability, availability and other non-functional requirements. The next generation of resilient systems will be highly di...

RTCA DO-333, Formal Methods Supplement to DO-178C and DO278A, provides guidance for software developers wishing to use formal methods in the certification of airborne systems and air traffic management systems. This paper presents three case studies describing the use of different classes of formal methods to satisfy DO-178C certification objectives. The case studies examine different aspects o...
