In a wireless network, data transmission suffers from varied signal strengths and channel bit error rates. To ensure successful packet reception under different channel conditions, automatic bit rate control schemes are ...

In this work, we propose to logically embed a ring in a point-to-point network topology. Snoop messages use the logical ring, while other messages can use any link in the network. The resulting design is simple and low ...

The use of a private cache in each processor of large-scale shared-memory multiprocessor systems can reduce long global memory latency but also introduces the cache coherence problem. Cache design and performance in a ...

Dependable real-time systems are essential to time-critical applications. The systems that run these applications require high degrees of performance and predictability. Although memory caching has long been known as a ...

To recompute from scratch, cache, or maintain a running-total is a database optimization question. The best answer depends in part upon usage patterns. For example, is total accessed frequently, or is the underlying table ...

Broad band gain on the B(--->)X bands of ZnI and CdI has been obtained in 13 and 25 cm active length, UV-preionized, high temperature (440(DEGREES)C), transverse discharge devices. With a 50 cm active length device, ...

In this thesis we calculate the Drell-Yan cross-section for the production of massive muon pairs at moderate values of q(,(PERP))('2). We do this in several theories, including the important case of Quantum Chromodynamics. ...
