When are Bytecodes Faster than Direct Execution?
We demonstrate the tradeoffs between interpreting code in compact forms (such as the bytecoded method formats used in Smalltalk and Java), and direct execution of code (as in dynamic-translation Smalltalk and just-in-time Java compilers). Experiments with the interpreted Smalltalk language show that the widely held belief that direct execution is always faster than compact interpretation is not...
متن کاملWhen the Words are Not Everything: The Use of Laughter, Fillers, Back-Channel, Silence, and Overlapping Speech in Phone Calls
*Correspondence: Alessandro Vinciarelli , School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow, Sir A. Williams Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK e-mail: [email protected] This article presents an observational study on how some common conversational cues – laughter, fillers, back-channel, silence, and overlapping speech – are used during mobile phone conversations. The observations are performed ...
متن کاملFaster Rumor Spreading with Multiple Calls
We consider the random phone call model introduced by Demers et al.,which is a well-studied model for information dissemination in networks. One basic protocol in this model is the so-called Push protocol that proceeds in synchronous rounds. Starting with a single node which knows of a rumor, every informed node calls in each round a random neighbor and informs it of the rumor. The Push-Pull pr...
متن کاملImproving Responsiveness to Patient Phone Calls
Optimal patient-physician communication in the outpatient clinical setting is critical for safe and effective patient care. Keeping track of multiple patient telephone messages can be difficult and hazardous if a structured system is not in place. A multidisciplinary group at Hershey Medical Center developed a standardized approach for addressing patient telephone calls at their outpatient surg...
متن کاملStabilizing a linear system using phone calls
We consider the problem of stabilizing an undisturbed, scalar, linear system over a “timing” channel, namely a channel where information is communicated through the timestamps of the transmitted symbols. Each transmitted symbol is received at the controller subject to some to random delay. The sensor can encode messages in the holding times between successive transmissions and the controller mu...
