Book excerpt: There has been dramatic progress in the scope and power of plasma simulations in recent years; and because codes are generally cheaper to write, to run and to diagnose than experiments, they have a well-recognized potential to extend our understanding of complex phenomena like plasma turbulence. However, simulations are imperfect models for physical reality and can be trusted only so far as they demonstrate agreement, without bias, with experimental results. This "validation" process tests the correctness and completeness of the physical model along with the assumptions and simplifications required for solution. At the same time, it must be understood that experimental measurements are almost always incomplete and subject to significant uncertainties and errors. For optimum scientific progress, simulations and experiments must be seen as complementary not competitive approaches. We need experiments dedicated to answering critical questions raised by the simulations and which examine the validity of models and which explicitly test their assumptions. A premium should be placed on ongoing collaborations which are open and candid about the sources of error and the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Ultimately both experiments and simulation have much to gain by adopting a an approach of co-development, where simulations are continuously and carefully compared to experimental data and where experiments are guided by the results of simulations.
Download or read book Business Sustainability written by Alka Jarvis and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competitive advantage as it existed in the 1970s and 1980s is no longer valid. Leaders must be ready to adopt the thinking that there is no such thing as long-term competitive advantage anymore, due to the constantly changing landscape, and they will have to repeatedly redefine and redesign business strategies to survive. ISO 9004:2018 represents a major contribution in the application of sound business and quality management systems practices, but authors Jarvis and Palmes help you go beyond it with the current widely used state-of-the-art technologies and practices described in this book. They have spent years evaluating where mature and successful organizations, whether they are small or large, are heading, and are among the group of experts who developed ISO 9004:2018. Topics covered include disruptive technologies, culture for sustained success, organizational identity, leadership, process management, and more.

Download or read book Database Benchmarking written by Bert Scalzo and published by Rampant TechPress. This book was released on 2007-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to provide foresight as systems grow and resources are stressed, this guidebook explains how one of the major causes of unplanned database outages is the failure to anticipate the effects of growth. The benchmark method detailed enables users to spot areas of pending problems before they cripple the database. This real-world approach ensures the user will be prepared for whatever the future brings to mission-critical databases. Areas explored in this book include knowing the limits of the database, avoiding unplanned outages with capacity planning, and predicting the need for new hardware.
Download or read book Benchmarking Transaction and Analytical Processing Systems written by Anja Bog and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Systems for Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) are currently separate. The potential of the latest technologies and changes in operational and analytical applications over the last decade have given rise to the unification of these systems, which can be of benefit for both workloads. Research and industry have reacted and prototypes of hybrid database systems are now appearing. Benchmarks are the standard method for evaluating, comparing and supporting the development of new database systems. Because of the separation of OLTP and OLAP systems, existing benchmarks are only focused on one or the other. With the rise of hybrid database systems, benchmarks to assess these systems will be needed as well. Based on the examination of existing benchmarks, a new benchmark for hybrid database systems is introduced in this book. It is furthermore used to determine the effect of adding OLAP to an OLTP workload and is applied to analyze the impact of typically used optimizations in the historically separate OLTP and OLAP domains in mixed-workload scenarios.
Download or read book Benchmarking and Self Assessment for Parliaments written by Mitchell O'Brien and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With international focus on good governance and parliamentary effectiveness, a standards-based approach involving benchmarks and assessment frameworks has emerged to evaluate parliament's performance and guide its reforms. The World Bank's has been a leader in the development of these frameworks, stewarding a global multi-stakeholder process aimed at enhancing consensus around parliamentary benchmarks and indicators with international organizations and parliaments across the world. The results so far, some of which are captured in this book, are encouraging: countries as diverse as Australia, Canada, Ghana, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Zambia have used these frameworks for self-evaluation and to guide efficiency-driven reforms. Donors and practitioners, too, are finding the benchmarks useful as baselines against which they can assess the impact of their parliamentary strengthening programs. The World Bank itself is using these frameworks to surface the root causes of performance problems and explore how to engage with parliamentary institutions in order to achieve better results. The World Bank can identify opportunities to help improve the oversight function of parliament, thus holding governments to account, giving 'voice' to the poor and disenfranchised, and improving public policy formation in order to achieve a nation's development goals. In doing so, we are helping make parliaments themselves more accountable to citizens and more trusted by the public.
Download or read book Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking written by Raghunath Nambiar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-10-27 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First established in August 1988, the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) has shaped the landscape of modern transaction processing and database benchmarks over two decades. Now, the world is in the midst of an extraordinary information explosion led by rapid growth in the use of the Internet and connected devices. Both user-generated data and enterprise data levels continue to grow ex- nentially. With substantial technological breakthroughs, Moore's law will continue for at least a decade, and the data storage capacities and data transfer speeds will continue to increase exponentially. These have challenged industry experts and researchers to develop innovative techniques to evaluate and benchmark both hardware and software technologies. As a result, the TPC held its First Conference on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking (TPCTC 2009) on August 24 in Lyon, France in conjunction with the 35th International Conference on Very Large Data Bases (VLDB 2009). TPCTC 2009 provided industry experts and researchers with a forum to present and debate novel ideas and methodologies in performance evaluation, measurement and characteri- tion for 2010 and beyond. This book contains the proceedings of this conference, including 16 papers and keynote papers from Michael Stonebraker and Karl Huppler.
