ANAESTHESIA: A PRACTICAL OR IMPRACTICAL CONSTRUCT?

Formal or Informal, Practical or Impractical: Towards Integrating Formal Methods with Informal Practices in Software Engineering Education

Tw o conflicting schools of thought have been dominating software engineering education. One school stresses on the popular software development methodologies, but horror stories on poorly designed systems are not uncommon. The other school advocates formal methods, but most practitioners regard them as impractical. We recommend that we should bridge the gap between the formal and informal by b...

Practical policy for non-explosive anaesthesia.

IN THEm CONSTANT STRUGGLE to reduce morbidity and mortality, anaesthesiologists have tended to overlook the ever-present hazards of fire and explosion. This undoubtedly stems from the low reported incidence of explosion (1:100,0001), which contributes to a tendency among practitioners to consider it a negligible risk. There are other factors. Among them is the "it can't happen here" syndrome. A...

Fundamental Latency Trade-offs in Architecting DRAM Caches Outperforming Impractical SRAM-Tags with a Simple and Practical Design

This paper analyzes the design trade-offs in architecting large-scale DRAM caches. Prior research, including the recent work from Loh and Hill, have organized DRAM caches similar to conventional caches. In this paper, we contend that some of the basic design decisions typically made for conventional caches (such as serialization of tag and data access, large associativity, and update of replace...
