Download or read book Star Code written by Chris Ward and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years humans looked to the stars for navigation, deities, personality insights, predictions and omens about the future. What can we learn from these heavenly bodies? The Bible says that the Lord placed them there as faithful witnesses to mark the seasons, the days, and the times. The Bible also tells of Wise Men from the east that followed a star to Bethlehem to find a king. What other events might be revealed by the movement of the stars and planets? Is there more hidden in the stars? Is there a Star Code?
Download or read book Starcode written by Carter Damon and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first decades of the 21st-century, humanity manages to establish communication with other intelligent beings. Apparently harmless, the contact progressively strays towards being something far more dangerous than anybody ever imagined. It will not be as we had expected. "Starcode" tackles a star topic of science fiction with a radically original plot, whose development and outcome will surprise the reader, as much the aficionado of the genre as one who is simply in search of an entertaining and addictive book. As described online: "Starcode is a kind of high voltage ‘Contact' by Carl Sagan which will delight readers of science fiction. A fresh touch for science fiction, in a light read, whose ending and epilogue will make you reflect on the entire book. Recommended!" Carter Damon is an author who has sold thousands of books through Amazon.
Download or read book Storage Systems written by Alexander Thomasian and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2021-10-13 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storage Systems: Organization, Performance, Coding, Reliability and Their Data Processing was motivated by the 1988 Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks proposal to replace large form factor mainframe disks with an array of commodity disks. Disk loads are balanced by striping data into strips—with one strip per disk— and storage reliability is enhanced via replication or erasure coding, which at best dedicates k strips per stripe to tolerate k disk failures. Flash memories have resulted in a paradigm shift with Solid State Drives (SSDs) replacing Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) for high performance applications. RAID and Flash have resulted in the emergence of new storage companies, namely EMC, NetApp, SanDisk, and Purestorage, and a multibillion-dollar storage market. Key new conferences and publications are reviewed in this book.The goal of the book is to expose students, researchers, and IT professionals to the more important developments in storage systems, while covering the evolution of storage technologies, traditional and novel databases, and novel sources of data. We describe several prototypes: FAWN at CMU, RAMCloud at Stanford, and Lightstore at MIT; Oracle's Exadata, AWS' Aurora, Alibaba's PolarDB, Fungible Data Center; and author's paper designs for cloud storage, namely heterogeneous disk arrays and hierarchical RAID. Surveys storage technologies and lists sources of data: measurements, text, audio, images, and video Familiarizes with paradigms to improve performance: caching, prefetching, log-structured file systems, and merge-trees (LSMs) Describes RAID organizations and analyzes their performance and reliability Conserves storage via data compression, deduplication, compaction, and secures data via encryption Specifies implications of storage technologies on performance and power consumption Exemplifies database parallelism for big data, analytics, deep learning via multicore CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs, e.g., Google's Tensor Processing Units
