Content is at the heart of next-generation Internet architectures such as Content-Centric Networking (CCN): Instead of routing location-based messages to end hosts, the network transmits location-independent, named content objects. Such data objects can (and are envisioned to) be cached in arbitrary network nodes. In this technical report, we discuss several privacy attacks related to the ubiqu...

In order to meet the demands of wider issue processors, fetch mechanisms will need to fetch multiple basic blocks per cycle. The trace cache supplies several basic blocks each cycle by storing logically contiguous instructions in physically contiguous storage. When a particular basic block is requested, the trace cache can potentially respond with the requested block along with several blocks t...

The presented processor lowers SRAM-based cache Vmin by using three architectural techniques–bit bypass (BB), dynamic column redundancy (DCR), and line disable (LD)–that use low-overhead reprogrammable redundancy (RR) to avoid failing bitcells and therefore increase the maximum bitcell failure rate in processor caches. In the 28nm chip, the Vmin of the 1MB L2 cache is reduced by 25%, resulting ...

With advances in process technology, soft errors (SE) are becoming an increasingly critical design concern. Due to their large area and high density, caches are worst hit by soft errors. Although Error Correction Code based mechanisms protect the data in caches, they have high performance and power overheads. Since multimedia applications are increasingly being used in mission-critical embedded...

In this paper, a multistate Bayesian Network (BN) is proposed to model and evaluate the functional performance of safety barriers in Oil Gas plants. The nodes BN represent Health States (HSs) corresponding conditional Failure Probability (FP) values are assigned. HSs assessed on basis specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related barrier characteristics (i.e., technical, procedural or orga...

Drilling industry and its technical services are among the complex and advanced technology-based industries in the cycle of oil exploration and production. In this regard, the logging services role as one of the pillars of technical services is very important due to technological complexity and the importance of the results in the evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. The complexity had caused ...

the absence of merchants played a significant role in the movement of national oil industry and had undeniable effects on the failure of this movement in 1953. the focus of this study is to find out the reasons why merchants were absent in the great oil national movement. in this study, document analysis was used to respond to the research question. the finding shows that the merchants especial...
