This paper describes the parallelization of the Mermaid multicomputer simulation environment. Due to our simulation methodology, this parallelization is reasonably straightforward as it does not require any measures to guarantee the causality within the simulated system. The resulting distributed simulator increases the simulation performance without any loss of simulation accuracy. Furthermore...

The article explores the disabled female gaze through titular character in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “The Little Mermaid” (1837), arguing that sight is a strategy of empowerment challenges able-bodied male gaze. tale—and its accompanying visual forms, including sculpture and illustration—is placed dialogue with Literary Disability Studies, examining how little mermaid depicted as an ...

Robert Eggers’ 2019 film The Lighthouse provides an idiosyncratic representation of the mermaid as a Jungian anima in that revolves around homoerotic tension between two lighthouse keepers on remote, windswept island. While theme is essentially minor aspect film, juxtaposed with other mythological motifs, it significant for intensity passions catalyses one film’s male leads. Analysing its scrip...

The large design space of modern computer architectures calls for performance modelling tools to facilitate the evaluation of different alternatives. In this paper, we present an overview of the Mermaid multicomputer simulation environment. This environment allows for the evaluation of a wide range of architectural design tradeoffs while delivering good simulation performance. To achieve this, ...
