Weapons labs turn to computer simulation

An Innovative Simulation Approach for Labs in Computer Architecture

1 James K. Archibald, Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, [email protected] Abstract  This paper describes a new approach to lab assignments in computer architecture courses. Using a tool suite for the target instruction-set architecture, students model the performance of a sequence of processor architectures running selected benchmark programs...

Neutrophils Turn Plasma Proteins into Weapons against HIV-1

As a consequence of innate immune activation granulocytes and macrophages produce hypochlorite/hypochlorous acid (HOCl) via secretion of myeloperoxidase (MPO) to the outside of the cells, where HOCl immediately reacts with proteins. Most proteins that become altered by this system do not belong to the invading microorganism but to the host. While there is no doubt that the myeloperoxidase syste...

Web based simulation tools for virtual Labs

The paper describes a web based virtual online lab using simulation tools. The used simulation tools can be included using existent web front ends or the technique of an application server. The paper shows the advantages of using virtual labs in educational environments. To simplify the work of virtual lab developers, an XMLtechnology for online Labs is introduced.

Simulation labs aid OR staff education.
