Branch predictors are widely used as an alternative to deal with conditional branches. Despite the high accuracy rates, misprediction penalties are still large in any superscalar pipeline. DCE, or Dynamic Conditional Execution, is a alternative to reduce the number of predicted branches by executing both paths of certain branches thus reducing the number of predictions and therefore the mispred...

in order to study the effects of ga3and cacl2 treatments in resolve the problems of sweet pepper culture in ilam region (including small size fruits with sunscald and blossom end rot disorders), this study was carried out in ilam university in 2012. for that, ga3 (50 mg/l) and cacl2 (0.5%) treatments were sprayed at two (fruit set and 15 days thereafter) and three (fruit set, 10 and 20 days the...

Recent studies have shown significantly improved branch prediction through the use of branch classification. By separating static branches into groups, or classes, with similar dynamic behavior, predictors may be selected that are best suited for each class. Previous methods have classified branches according to taken rate (or bias). We propose a new metric for branch classification: branch tra...

This research had conducted to investigate light intensity effects on the lucky bamboo growth in Islamic Azad University, Abhar Branch. The experiment arranged as a complete randomized block design with five treatments (0.75, 1.14, 1.89, 2.29 and 4.09 mmol m-2 s-1) in ten replications. Results showed that 1.89 mmol m-2 s-1 had significant differences than other treatments. The higher level of r...

We consider a class of random knapsack instances described by Chvátal, who showed that with probability going to 1, such instances require an exponential number of branch-and-bound nodes. We show that even with the use of simple lifted cover inequalities, an exponential number of nodes is required with probability going to 1. It is not surprising that there exist integer programming (IP) instan...

ISSN 0817-8542 ISBN 0 642 24220 8 Up to one-quarter of young people in Australia have witnessed an incident of physical or domestic violence against their mother or stepmother. These findings come from a survey of 5,000 Australians aged between 12 and 20 from all States and Territories in Australia. Data of this nature have not been available before, and it must be noted that what is included w...
