Reclaiming Proportionality: A Reply to Arthur Ripstein

WattDB - a Rocky Road to Energy Proportionality

Energy efficiency is becoming more important in database design, i. e., the work delivered by a database server should be accomplished by minimal energy consumption. So far, a substantial number of research papers examined and optimized the energy consumption of database servers or single components. In this way, our first efforts were exclusively focused on the use of flash memory or SSDs in a...

Proportionality: A Valid Alternative to Correlation for Relative Data

With such relative-or compositional-data, differential expression needs careful interpretation, and correlation-a statistical workhorse for analyzing pairwise relationships-is an inappropriate measure of association. Using yeast gene expression data we show how correlation can ...
