The tick-tock of the biological clock.
enous at 3 P.M. but have no appetite when suppertime rolls around. You wake up at 4:00 in the morning and cannot get back to sleep. This scenario is familiar to many people who have flown from the East Coast of the U.S. to California, a trip that entails jumping a three-hour time difference. During a weeklong business trip or vacation, your body no sooner acclimatizes to the new schedule than i...
متن کاملFirst the Tick, Now the Tock: Intel® Microarchitecture (Nehalem)
Introducing a New Dynamically and Design-Scalable Microarchitecture that Rewrites the Book on Energy Efficiency and Performance Since the introduction of Intel® CoreTM microarchitecture in 2006 and its 2007 45nm enhancements—the Intel Core microarchitecture (Penryn) family of processors—the blistering performance and energy efficiency of Intel® microprocessors have delivered unprecedented capab...
متن کاملTick Tock: Building Browser Red Pills from Timing Side Channels
Red pills allow programs to detect if their execution environment is a CPU emulator or a virtual machine. They are used by digital rights management systems and by malware authors. In this paper we study the possibility of browser-based red pills, namely red pills implemented as Javascript that runs in the browser and attempts to detect if the browser is running inside a virtual machine. These ...
متن کاملOn Pseudo-synchronizing Clocks in Distributed Applications
Many distributed applications demand the underlying distributed systems to accommodate their needs. Matching requirements of distributed applications compels the prompt identification of momentary characteristics of an underlying distributed system. Thus, a method is needed to promptly derive a momentary state of a distributed system by identifying a set of events occurred across hosts and occu...
متن کاملOn randomness and diversity in synchronizing clocks
We extend the ideas of 7] in which a new approach to distributed clock synchronization is presented, and analyzed by means of simulations. The algorithm is an environment adaptation mechanism in which each node, or process, of the system periodically computes its new value as a function of the clocks of its direct neighbors. This probabilistic approach clearly breaks both space and time symmetr...
