Using a next-generation architecture technology that Intel and Hewlett-Packard call EPIC (explicitly parallel instruction computing), Merced and future EPIC processors threaten the performance lead held today by RISC processors. EPIC is not entirely new, borrowing many of its ideas from previous RISC and VLIW designs as well as from recent academic research. EPIC has an inherent performance adv...

Neo-Latin literature in colonial New Spain has a rich history that only recent years garnered broader interest from scholars.

The European Prospective Investigation of Cancer (EPIC) is a 10-country collaborative study in which EPIC-Norfolk is one of the UK centres. EPIC-Norfolk examined 25 639 men and women resident in East Anglia (aged 40-79 years), between 1993 and 1997. The EPIC collaboration was set up to examine the dietary determinants of cancer, but the remit in the EPIC-Norfolk cohort was broadened from the ou...

PURPOSE To determine an objective cutoff value (COV) for urinary incontinence (UI) using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Composite (EPIC) score after radical prostatectomy (RP). METHODS From 2004-2013, all RP patients at our institution completed the EPIC urinary domain (EPIC-UD) questionnaire preoperatively and 6 weeks; 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months postoperatively; and yearly thereafter. The EPIC...

HP and Intel have recently introduced a new style of instruction set architecture called EPIC (Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing), and a specific architecture called the IPF (Itanium Processor Family). This paper seeks to illustrate the differences between EPIC architectures and former styles of instruction set architectures such as superscalar and VLIW. Several aspects of EPIC architec...

PURPOSE We expanded the clinical usefulness of EPIC-CP (Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice) by evaluating its responsiveness to health related quality of life changes, defining the minimally important differences for an individual patient change in each domain and applying it to a sexual outcome prediction model. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 1,201 subjects from a previ...
