Recent research advocates applying sampling to accelerate microarchitecture simulation. Simple random sampling offers accurate performance estimates (with a high quantifiable confidence) by taking a large number (e.g., 10,000) of short performance measurements over the full length of a benchmark. Simple random sampling does not exploit the often repetitive behaviors of benchmarks, collecting ma...

Much attention has been given to sampling design, and the sampling method chosen directly affects the sampling accuracy. The development of spatial sampling theory has lead to the recognition of the importance of taking spatial dependency into account when sampling. This text uses the new Sandwich Spatial Sampling and Inference (SSSI) software as a tool to compare the relative error, coefficien...

We look at the benefits of using a kind of quasi-random numbers to obtain more accurate results for a given number of simulation runs. We explore a sampling method with enhanced independence in multidimensional simulations by combining the ideas of stratified sampling and Latin Hypercube sampling. We test the new sampling method by comparing it with traditional stratified sampling and Latin Hyp...

the purpose of this study was to determine students’ attitudes toward international agricultural issues. the population for the study consisted of agricultural extension students at tehran and shiraz universities, agriculture and natural resources colleges’ (n= 170). a stratified random sampling technique was employed to select samples, (n= 120). the study was conducted during the fall 2007 usi...

Organizational voice and silence are two intertwined strategies in organizations. Organizational voice is an appropriate communicational tool in order to improve the organization. On the other hand, silence can have destructive effects on the decision-making process and organizational changes. Organizational culture is the important factor which facilitates ways of expressing ideas by employees...

this research was done with the aim of analyzing the factors that influence the professional development of agricultural faculty members. methodologically, this explanatory research was carried out through survey method. the population of the research consisted of agricultural faculty members of iran universities (n=1190). using random stratified sampling method, 120 faculty members were select...

the aim of the present survey was to investigate and compare job burnout between professors of physical education and other fields of study. this survey used a discursive comparative approach. the statistical population consisted of professors from human sciences faculties in universities of tehran, shahid beheshti and allameh tabataba’i. 65 professors were selected as the sample using stratifi...

use of appropriate leadership style to improve organizational commitment is among the major duties of managers. in order to achieve this goal, resonant leaders, in harmony with the other members, use a high level of emotional intelligence. the purpose of this study is to identify the resonant leadership's effect on the organizational commitment, with the mediating role of trust in the senior ma...

background: hospitals employing telesurgery need to be evaluated to determine whether they satisfy the international standards. the main goal of this research was to assess the software, hardware, telecommunication equipments, privacy and security methods, and staffing requirements for supporting and executing telesurgery in hospitals affiliated to tehran universities of medical sciences, tehra...
