Mitigating Amdahl's Law through EPI Throttling

Power-Aware Control Speculation through Selective Throttling

With the constant advances in technology that lead to the increasing of the transistor count and processor frequency, power dissipation is becoming one of the major issues in high-performance processors. These processors increase their clock frequency by lengthening the pipeline, which puts more pressure on the branch prediction engine since branches take longer to be resolved. Branch mispredic...

Mitigating Disaster Losses through Insurance

Losses from natural disasters have increased in recent years due to growth of population in hazard-prone areas and inadequate enforcement of building codes. This article first examines why homeowners have not voluntarily adopted cost-effective protective measures and have limited interest in purchasing insurance. It then proposes a disaster-management program which utilizes insurance coupled wi...

Mitigating adversarial effects through randomization

Convolutional neural networks have demonstrated their powerful ability on various tasks in recent years. However, they are extremely vulnerable to adversarial examples. I.e., clean images, with imperceptible perturbations added, can easily cause convolutional neural networks to fail. In this paper, we propose to utilize randomization to mitigate adversarial effects. Specifically, we use two ran...

assessing the rules governing mitigating factors in the iranian law

legal and judicial mitigating factors are one of the effective mechanisms for individualization of punishments and persuading offenders to avoid the continuation of the act of crime. these would also prevent the harmful consequences of crime from proliferating, and it help to discover crime and arrest aiders and abettors. the legislature has in different instances specified such legal exemption...
