and implementation of global memory management in a workstation cluster. Our objective is to use a single, unified, but distributed memory management algorithm at the lowest level of the operating system. By managing memory globally at this level, all system- and higher-level software, including VM, file systems

Using on-chip interconnection networks in place of ad-hoc global wiring structures the top level wires on a chip and facilitates modular design. With this approach, system modules (processors, memories, peripherals, etc...) communicate by sending packets to one another over the network

surfaces are found by solving a linearly constrained quadratic programming problem. This optimization problem is challenging because the quadratic form is completely dense and the memory requirements grow with the square of the number of data points. We present a decomposition algorithm that guarantees

The semantic structure of texts can be described both at the local microlevel and at a more global macrolevel. A model for text comprehension based on this notion accounts for the formation of a coherent semantic text base in terms of a cyclical process constrained by limitations of working memory

A number of library-based parallel and sequential network simulators have been designed. This paper describes a library, called GloMoSim (for Global Mobile system Simulator), for parallel simulation of wireless networks. GloMoSim has been designed to be extensible and composable: the communication

client buffer pool or the server buffer pool were read in from disk. In this paper we investi-gate a technique that allows client page requests to be serviced by other clients, thus treating the entire system as a single memory hierarchy. We also present techniques for efficiently exploiting this global

Global memory models are evaluated by using data from recognition memory experiments. For recognition, each of the models gives a value of familiarity as the output from matching a test item against memory. The experiments provide ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curves that give information

Theory and method courses in the humanities and social sciences have for many years stressed the importance of the primary source. The best evidence is the original evidence, and oral sources apart, it is docu-mentary.1 Some of it finds its way into archives where it may become a check, via footnotes, on the ways in which scholars have interpreted events and evolved causal explanations. In its own right it may, with the aid of a scholar’s imagination, pose questions, suggest causes and lead to the evolution of theories. But constraints of time and finance have meant that traditionally researchers in the social sciences have had to limit their inquiry to what is readily available. In practice, this has meant that they have depended on a few, perhaps only one readily accessible archive. What they have found there has become the foundation of their argument and explanation. That means that their findings have been based on information that has come their way by chance. They have—for good

New high-speed switched networks have reduced the latency of network page transfers significantly below that of local disk. This trend has led to the development of systems that use network-wide memory, or global memory, as a cache for virtual memory pages or file blocks. A crucial issue
