analyzing efficiency in each economic sector to adopt policies for optimal use of production factors and avoid wasting resources is important. in this study, in order to have a more comprehensive evaluation of the performance of each unit, efficiency of broiler firms was measured using bounded data envelopment analysis which determines position of each unit relative to efficient and inefficient...

The classic overall profit needs precise information of inputs, outputs, inputs and outputs price vectors. In real word, all data are not certain. Therefore, in this case, stochastic and fuzzy methods use for measuring overall profit efficiency. These methods require more information about the data such as probability distribution function or data membership function, which in some cases may no...

 Recently, Khodabakhshi and Aryavash have introduced a ranking method [Applied Mathematics Letters, 25 (2012) 2066-2070.], which is based on an optimistic-pessimistic approach of data envelopment analysis (DEA). This method ranks all decision making units according to a combination of their minimum and maximum possible efficiency scores which are determined by solving two linear programming mo...

This paper presents a set of architecturally and workloadinspired algorithmic and engineering improvements to the popular Memcached system that substantially improve both its memory efficiency and throughput. These techniques—optimistic cuckoo hashing, a compact LRU-approximating eviction algorithm based upon CLOCK, and comprehensive implementation of optimistic locking—enable the resulting sys...

We propose a tightening sequence of optimistic approximations to the Gittins index in “Optimistic Indices.” show that use these concert with an increasing discount factor appears offer compelling alternative state-of-the-art schemes proposed for Bayesian multiarmed bandit problem. prove indices constitutes regret optimal algorithm. Perhaps more interestingly, even loosest substantial performanc...

Optimistic concurrency relies on speculative execution, read-write conflict detection, and checkpointrollback techniques to provide a programming model that replaces locks with the abstraction of atomic, isolated execution of critical sections. Previous research has shown that on chip multi-processors, a class of workloads featuring irregular parallelism and rare read-write conflicts can reap s...
