BOAT: Building Auto-Tuners with Structured Bayesian Optimization
Due to their complexity, modern systems expose many configuration parameters which users must tune to maximize performance. Auto-tuning has emerged as an alternative in which a black-box optimizer iteratively evaluates configurations to find efficient ones. Unfortunately, for many systems, such as distributed systems, evaluating performance takes too long and the space of configurations is too ...
متن کاملBuilding Corporate 'Black Boxes': A Different Perspective on Organisational Learning
Most of us are familiar with the role of “black boxes” as they exist in aircraft. We know that they are there to help us learn from mistakes and thereby improve the performance of aircraft and the aviation system as a whole. Imagine what would happen if the aviation system did not learn and adapt to changes quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, this is the case with most organizations. Nevert...
متن کاملUnpacking Black Boxes: Mechanisms and Theory Building in Evaluation
There is growing interest in the concept of ‘‘mechanism’’ across many areas of the social sciences. In the field of program and policy evaluation, a number of scholars have also emphasized the importance of causal mechanisms for explaining how and why programs work. However, there appears to be some ambiguity about the meaning and uses of mechanism-based thinking in both the social science and ...
متن کاملAssessment of Styrene Emission Controls for FRP/C and Boat Building Industries
This study evaluated several conventional and novel emission control technologies that have been used or could be used to treat styrene emissions from open molding processes in fiberglass-reinforced plastics/composites (FRP/C) and fiberglass boat building facilities. Control costs for these conventional and novel technologies were developed and compared for three hypothetical plant sizes. The r...
متن کاملF-boxes for filtering
Selecting a particular summative kernel (i.e., formally equivalent to a probability distribution) when filtering a digital signal can be a difficult task. An obvious solution to this problem is to filter with multiple kernels rather than with a single one, but the computing cost of such a solution can quickly become prohibitive (especially in real-time applications). Another alternative, the on...
