This thesis presents a study into a technique for improving performance in outof-order superscalar architectures. It identifies three technological trends limiting superscalar performance; they are the increasing cost of a main memory access, control dependencies and the greater hardware complexity of out-of-order execution. Decoupling is a technique that can provide higher performance through ...

We propose a novel approach for ensuring the availability of a publish/subscribe (P/S) service with limited resources. Our approach complies with the fully decoupled nature of P/S services.

We present an information theoretic approach to multi-modal signal processing, and validate the framework with illustrative examples from medical image processing and multi-media signal processing. The approach tries to adaptively identify that pair of feature space representations of a pair of multi-modal signals which carries maximal redundancy. Analogously, we can say that the framework extr...

In this paper, a decoupled sliding-mode with fuzzy-neural network controller for nonlinear systems is presented. To divided into two subsystems to achieve asymptotic stability by decoupled method for a class of fourth-order nonlinear system. The fuzzy-neural network (FNN) is the main regulator controller, which is used to approximate an ideal computational controller. The compensation controlle...

Cooperative pathfinding is often addressed in one of two ways in the literature. In fully coupled approaches, robots are considered together and the plans for all robots are constructed simultaneously. In decoupled approaches, the plans are constructed only for a subset of robots at a time. While decoupled approaches can be much faster than fully coupled approaches, they are often suboptimal an...

An unsteady two-dimensional finite-volume solver was developed based on Van Leer’s flux splitting algorithm in conjunction with “Monotonic Upstream Scheme for Conservation Laws (MUSCL)” limiters and the two-layer Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model was also implemented. To validate the solver, two test cases were prepared and the computed results had good agreements with reference data. The rotating...

Abstract We develop a real options model to assess the impact of decoupled payments on agricultural investments. The context that we are addressing is one set by Common Agricultural Policy where farmers eligible for as long their land properly maintained. show non-neutral with respect choices concerning timing and capacity. find they (i) induce earlier investment lower productive capacity; (ii)...

Reputation systems help establish social control in peer-to-peer networks. To be truly effective, however, a reputation system should counter attacks that compromise the reliability of user ratings. Existing reputation approaches either average a peer’s lifetime ratings or account for rating credibility by weighing each piece of feedback by the reputation of its source.While these systems impro...
