Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thougtit that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 31 (thesis year 1986) a total of 11 ,480 theses titles trom 24 Canadian and 182 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base tor these titles reported will greatly enhance the value ot this important annual reterence work. While Volume 31 reports theses submitted in 1986, on occasion, certain univer sities do re port theses submitted in previousyears but not reported at the time.

Book Markov Models for Multiple Bus Multiprocessor Systems

Download or read book Markov Models for Multiple Bus Multiprocessor Systems written by M. Ajmone Marsan and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Markovian models are developed for the performance analysis of multiprocessor systems intercommunicating via a set of busses. The performance index is the average number of active processors, called processing power. From processing power a variety of other performance measures can be derived as dictated by the specific processor application. Exact models are first introduced, and are illustrated with a simple example. The computational complexity of the exact models is shown to increase very rapidly with system size, thus making the exact analysis impractical even for medium size systems. To overcome the complexity of computation, several approximate models are introduced. The approximate results are compared with the exact ones and found to be surprisingly accurate for a wide range of configurations. Simulation is used to validate the analytic models and to test their robustness. (Author).

Book Lectures on Formal Methods and Performance Analysis

Download or read book Lectures on Formal Methods and Performance Analysis written by Ed Brinksma and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-06-29 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, models and methods for the analysis of the functional correctness of reactive systems, and those for the analysis of their performance (and - pendability) aspects, have been studied by di?erent research communities. This has resulted in the development of successful, but distinct and largely unrelated modeling and analysis techniques for both domains. In many modern systems, however, the di?erence between their functional features and their performance properties has become blurred, as relevant functionalities become inextricably linked to performance aspects, e.g. isochronous data transfer for live video tra- mission. During the last decade, this trend has motivated an increased interest in c- bining insights and results from the ?eld of formal methods – traditionally - cused on functionality – with techniques for performance modeling and analysis. Prominent examples of this cross-fertilization are extensions of process algebra and Petri nets that allow for the automatic generation of performance models, the use of formal proof techniques to assess the correctness of randomized - gorithms, and extensions of model checking techniques to analyze performance requirements automatically. We believe that these developments markthe - ginning of a new paradigm for the modeling and analysis of systems in which qualitative and quantitative aspects are studied from an integrated perspective. We are convinced that the further worktowards the realization of this goal will be a growing source of inspiration and progress for both communities.

Book Performance Analysis of the Simultaneous Optical Multiporcessor Exchange Bus Architecture

Download or read book Performance Analysis of the Simultaneous Optical Multiporcessor Exchange Bus Architecture written by Edward Doskocz and published by . This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The computing world has entered an era in which executing high- performance applications has become commonplace in the scientific, engineering, and business workplace. The trend in these applications is toward the execution of larger or more detailed models in less time, with parallel processing seen as a useful tool for performing this work. The focus of this dissertation is the performance evaluation of a parallel-processing architecture, known as the Simultaneous Optical Multiprocessor Exchange Bus (SOME-Bus), that exploits the parallelism in these applications via efficient data communication between processors. The SOME-Bus is a low-latency, high-bandwidth, broadcast-based fiber-optic interconnection network which can efficiently interconnect over one hundred processing nodes. Performance potential of the SOME-Bus architecture is examined by comparing its quantifiable network characteristics to those of existing static and dynamic network topologies. The need for a broadcast-based parallel-processing design is examined by reviewing research into the workload, communication patterns, and performance of current parallel systems. Theoretical and simulation models are developed for both message-passing and distributed- shared-memory parallel processing paradigms. The message-passing model consists of a closed queueing network. An efficient solution method is developed using Norton's Theorem for Queueing Networks. Two distributed-shared-memory models are constructed, one based on a closed, multi-class queueing network, the other on a Markov-chain. Mean Value Analysis is used to evaluate the first model; the second model is evaluated by examining state probabilities. Performance results from the models and simulations are compared to results from crossbar and torus system simulations. Models and simulators were implemented using MATLAB and C languages.

Book Computer Performance Evaluation

Download or read book Computer Performance Evaluation written by Ramon Puigjaner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-06-26 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need to evaluate computer and communication systems performance and dependability is continuously growing as a consequence of both the increasing complexity of systems and the user requirements in terms of timing behaviour. The 10th International Conference on Modelling Techniques and Tools for C- puter Performance Evaluation, held in Palma in September 1998, was organised with the aim of creating a forum in which both theoreticians and practitioners could interchange recent techniques, tools, and experiences in these areas. This meeting follows the predecessor conferences of this series: 1984 Paris 1988 Palma 1994 Wien 1985 Sophia Antipolis 1991 Torino 1995 Heidelberg 1987 Paris 1992 Edinburgh 1997 Saint Malo The tradition of this conference series continued this year where many high quality papers were submitted. The Programme Committee had a di cult task in selecting the best papers. Many ne papers could not be included in the program due to space constraints. All accepted papers are included in this volume. Also, a set of submissions describing performance modelling tools was transformed into tool presentations and demonstrations. A brief description of these tools is included in this volume. The following table gives the overall statistics for the submissions.

Book Deadlock Resolution in Computer Integrated Systems

Download or read book Deadlock Resolution in Computer Integrated Systems written by MengChu Zhou and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complex computer-integrated systems offer enormous benefits across a wide array of applications, including automated production, transportation, concurrent software, and computer operating systems, computer networks, distributed database systems, and many other automated systems. Yet, as these systems become more complex, automated, distributed, and computing-intensive, the opportunity for deadlock issues rises exponentially. Deadlock modeling, detection, avoidance, and recovery are critical to improving system performance. Deadlock Resolution in Computer-Integrated Systems is the first text to summarize and comprehensively treat this issue in a systematic manner. Consisting of contributions from prominent researchers in the field, this book addresses deadlock-free models and scheduling, detection and recovery methods, the formulation of dynamic control policies, and comparison and industrial benchmark studies that evaluate various approaches. The editors lay the foundation for exploring deadlock issues with a typical example of an automated manufacturing process, illustrating three primary modeling methods (digraphs, Petri nets, and automata) and comparing their respective advantages and disadvantages. Providing all of the important models and resolution approaches, this book is the complete guide for electrical and control engineers and manufacturing, intelligent, and network systems designers to prevent and manage deadlock issues in their systems.
