Party formation in single-issue politics

by Martin J. Osborne, Rabee Tourky, Jel Classification D , 2004
"... We study party formation in a general model of collective decision-making, modelling parties as agglomerations of policy positions championed by decision-makers. We show that in the presence of economies of party size and a one-dimensional policy space, players agglomerate into exactly two parties. ..."

Simultaneous Multithreading: Maximizing On-Chip Parallelism

by Dean M. Tullsen , Susan J. Eggers, Henry M. Levy , 1995
"... This paper examines simultaneous multithreading, a technique permitting several independent threads to issue instructions to a superscalar’s multiple functional units in a single cycle. We present several models of simultaneous multithreading and compare them with alternative organizations: a wide s ..."

Multiscalar Processors

by Gurindar S. Sohi, Scott E. Breach, T. N. Vijaykumar - In Proceedings of the 22nd Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture , 1995
"... Multiscalar processors use a new, aggressive implementation paradigm for extracting large quantities of instruction level parallelism from ordinary high level language programs. A single program is divided into a collection of tasks by a combination of software and hardware. The tasks are distribute ..."
Abstract - Cited by 589 (30 self) - Add to MetaCart
. This paper presents the philosophy of the multi scalar paradigm, the structure of multiscalar programs, and the hardware architecture of a multiscalar processor. The paper also discusses performance issues in the mttltiscalar model. and compares the multiscalar paradigm with other paradigms. Experimental

A Critique of Software Defect Prediction Models

by Norman E. Fenton, Martin Neil - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING , 1999
"... Many organizations want to predict the number of defects (faults) in software systems, before they are deployed, to gauge the likely delivered quality and maintenance effort. To help in this numerous software metrics and statistical models have been developed, with a correspondingly large literatur ..."

Bayesian Belief Networks, as alternative approaches to the single-issue models used at present. We also argue for research into a theory of “software decomposition” in order to test hypotheses about defect introduction and help construct a better science of software engineering.

A Control-Theoretic Approach to Flow Control

by Srinivasan Keshav , 1991
"... This paper presents a control-theoretic approach to reactive flow control in networks that do not reserve bandwidth. We assume a round-robin-like queue service discipline in the output queues of the network’s switches, and propose deterministic and stochastic models for a single conversation in a ne ..."

BRITE: An approach to universal topology generation,”

by Alberto Medina , Anukool Lakhina , Ibrahim Matta , John Byers - in Proceedings of the IEEE Ninth International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems, , 2001
"... Abstract Effective engineering of the Internet is predicated upon a detailed understanding of issues such as the large-scale structure of its underlying physical topology, the manner in which it evolves over time, and the way in which its constituent components contribute to its overall function. U ..."
Abstract - Cited by 448 (12 self) - Add to MetaCart
. Unfortunately, developing a deep understanding of these issues has proven to be a challenging task, since it in turn involves solving difficult problems such as mapping the actual topology, characterizing it, and developing models that capture its emergent behavior. Consequently, even though there are a number

Single-Issue Campaigns and Multidimensional Politics. working paper

by Georgy Egorov , 2012
"... Abstract In most elections, voters care about several issues, but candidates may have to choose only a few to build their campaign on. The information that voters will get about the politician depends on this choice, and it is therefore a strategic one. In this paper, I study a model of elections w ..."

Real-time simultaneous localisation and mapping with a single camera

by Andrew J. Davison , 2003
"... Ego-motion estimation for an agile single camera moving through general, unknown scenes becomes a much more challenging problem when real-time performance is required rather than under the off-line processing conditions under which most successful structure from motion work has been achieved. This t ..."

Fast Optimal Instruction Scheduling for Single-issue Processors with Arbitrary Latencies

by Peter van Beek, Kent Wilken , 2001
"... Instruction scheduling is one of the most important steps for improving the performance of object code produced by a compiler. The local instruction scheduling problem is to find a minimum length instruction schedule for a basic block subject to precedence, latency, and resource constraints. In ..."
Abstract - Cited by 25 (8 self) - Add to MetaCart
. In this paper we consider local instruction scheduling for single-issue processors with arbitrary latencies. The problem is considered intractable, and heuristic approaches are currently used in production compilers. In contrast, we present a relatively simple approach to instruction scheduling based

Exploiting choice: Instruction fetch and issue on an implementable simultaneous multithreading processor

In previous work we demonstrated the performance potential of simultaneous multithreading, based on a somewhat idealized model. In this paper we show that the throughput ga ..."
