Composable memory transactions

by Tim Harris, Mark Plesko, Avraham Shinnar, David Tarditi - In Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP , 2005
"... Atomic blocks allow programmers to delimit sections of code as ‘atomic’, leaving the language’s implementation to enforce atomicity. Existing work has shown how to implement atomic blocks over word-based transactional memory that provides scalable multiprocessor performance without requiring changes ..."

leaving the block. This paper takes a four-pronged approach to improving performance: (1) we introduce a new ‘direct access ’ implementation that avoids searching thread-private logs, (2) we develop compiler optimizations to reduce the amount of logging (e.g. when a thread accesses the same data

Session S4C Mixing Numbers and Letters: Collaboration Between Engineering and English to Improve Graduate Student Work

by Craig Baltimore, Deborah Wilhelm, Mary Forte, Pamalee Brady

Reparameterized and Marginalized Posterior and Predictive Sampling for Complex Bayesian Geostatistical Models

by Mary Kathryn Cowles, Jun Yan, Brian Smith , 2007
"... This paper proposes a four-pronged approach to efficient Bayesian estimation and prediction for complex Bayesian hierarchical Gaussian models for spatial and spa-tiotemporal data. The method involves reparameterizing the variance/covariance struc-ture of the model, reformulating the means structure, ..."

Specification Channel Path Assignment Prototype

by unknown authors , 2001
"... Today, mapping channels to the data paths in streaming logs is an extremely time-consuming, labor-intensive and error-prone task. Arbitron seeks a solution to reduce the costs and to provide scalability as the number of channels and volume of data grows in the near future. PowerVision has devised a ..."

four-pronged approach to this business problem. A major reduction in labor can be achieved by using the selflearning adaptive deduction algorithm we have prototyped. The algorithm focuses on human intervention and direction as a quality control and guidance mechanism. As the knowledgebase grows, so

by Bruce Mckenzie
"... Oil spills present a significant risk to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Its extensive coastline has a variety of sensitive ecosystems, and increasingly is becoming a popular tourist destination. Additionally, the coastal environment is the primary source of water within the UAE for both industrial ..."

The strategy is based on a four-pronged approach that includes ensuring that the right equipment, trained manpower, organizational structure, and plans are in place to ensure a timely and effective response. The proposed strategy covers

Modeling

"... Introducing system dynamics concepts is very natural in mathematics. The reform Calculus movement that has been in progress for ten years in the United States sets a useful backdrop for introducing systems. The reform movement has as its fundamental precepts the use of a four pronged approach to a c ..."
