We study the feasibility of autonomous transaction execution in systems with asynchronous transaction processing based on epsilon serializability (ESR). The abstract correctness criteria deened by ESR are implemented by techniques such as asynchronous divergence control and asynchronous consistency restoration. Concrete application examples in a distributed environment, such as banking, illustr...

The present study was an attempt to investigate the significance of environmental changes on the develo p- ment of writing in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context with respect to the individual. This study also compared the impacts of collaboration and asynchronous computer mediation (ACM) on the writing complexity of EFL learners. To this end, three intact writing classes were designate...

In this note, we present the stability as well as performance analysis of asynchronous parallel computing algorithm implemented in 1D heat equation with CUDA. The primary objective of this note lies in dissemination of asynchronous parallel computing algorithm by providing CUDA code for fast and easy implementation. We show that the simulations carried out on nVIDIA GPU device with asynchronous...

A new asynchronous cellular automata model is described. The model provides an experimental and theoretical framework to investigate quantitatively realistic simulations. The parallel execution of such simulations introduces the need of synchronisation of the asynchronous parallel processes. Time Warp is proposed as a synchronisation method for the parallel asynchronous cellular automata. We in...

Exceptions in concurrent object-oriented languages with asynchronous call semantics may raise a serious problem in certain situations. Since separate calls are asynchronous it might happen that the context of the enclosing routine, from which the asynchronous call was launched, has been already left and hence any exception raised by the asynchronous call can not be handled anymore by the enclos...

A fully asynchronous implementation of the ARM microprocessor has been developed in order to investigate the potential of asynchronous logic for low-power applications. The work demonstrates the feasibility of complex asynchronous design and shows that the cost and performance characteristics are similar to clocked designs. AMULET1 is the first attempt at applying asynchronous techniques to a d...

This paper addresses reconfiguration of a Replicated State Machine (RSM) in an asynchronous system. It is well known that consensus cannot be solved in an asynchronous system. Therefore an RSM providing strong consistency, cannot guarantee progress in an asynchronous system. However, we show that reconfiguring the RSM is possible in a purely asynchronous system. This differs from all existing r...

Glutamate synapses in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) display asynchronous release in response to trains of stimulation. However, it is unclear what role this asynchronous release plays in synaptic transmission in this nucleus. This process was studied, specifically looking at the interaction between short-term depression and asynchronous release. These results indicate that synchronous and asynchr...
