A Branch Instruction Processor for SCISM Organizations

The performance degradation caused by branch instructions in pipelined computers is well known. The degradation is even greater on computers with multiple pipelines processing a single instruction stream, such as superscalar and scalable compound instruction-set machines (SCISM). Several branch prediction schemes have been proposed that attempt to reduce this performance penalty. One of these {...

A new branch of the logical algebra: UP-algebras

In this paper, we introduce a new algebraic structure, called a UP-algebra (UP means the University of Phayao) and a concept of UP-ideals, UP-subalgebras, congruences and UP-homomorphisms in UP-algebras, and investigated some related properties of them. We also describe connections between UP-ideals, UP-subalgebras, congruences and UP-homomorphisms, and show that the notion of UP-algebras is a ...

New Approaches to Surveying Organizations

The last three decades have witnessed an explosion of theoretical work on the organization of firms (Robert Gibbons and John Roberts forthcoming). In parallel, there has been a massive increase in access to microdata which has revealed huge dispersions in productivity. For example, within narrow industries like cement, oak flooring, and block-ice the total factor productivity of plants at the n...
