Using Colocation to Support Human Memory

چکیده
The progress of health care in the western world has been marked by an increase in life expectancy. Advances in life expectancy have meant that more people are living with acute health problems, many of which are related to impairment of memory. This paper describes a pair of scenarios that use RFID to assist people who may suffer from memory defects to extend their capability for independent living. We present our implementation of an RFID glove, describe its operation, and show how it enables the application scenarios.

Automatic Object Colocation Based on Read Barriers
Object colocation is an optimization that reduces memory access costs by grouping together heap objects so that their order in memory matches their access order in the program. We implemented this optimization for Sun Microsystems’ Java HotSpot VM. The garbage collector, which moves objects during collection, assigns consecutive addresses to connected objects and handles them as atomic units. W...
متن کاملGroup-Based Memory Deduplication for Virtualized Clouds
In virtualized clouds, machine memory is known as a resource that primarily limits consolidation level due to the expensive cost of hardware extension and power consumption. To address this limitation, various memory deduplication techniques have been proposed to increase available machine memory by eliminating memory redundancy. Existing memory deduplication techniques, however, lack isolation...
متن کاملCiticoline Improves Human Vigilance and Visual Working Memory: The Role of Neuronal Activation and Oxidative Stress
Introduction: Psychomotor performance task is used to assess the arousal and cognitive functions of the central nervous system. Alternatively, human visual working memory reflects the capability of the individual’s short-term memory. Psycho-mental stimuli are linked to the stimulation of Malondialdehyde (MDA) formations. Citicoline is a nootropic nucleotide agent with a favorable effect on the ...
متن کاملHabit: Leveraging Human Mobility and Social Network for Efficient Content Dissemination in MANETs
Digital content (e.g., music, photos, videos) has become very easy to create and disseminate, thanks to the widespread success of powerful, networked handheld devices. As the volume of content being produced is increasing dramatically, it becomes crucial to be able to filter irrelevant information as early as possible; this is to avoid both network congestion and end-user overload. In order to ...
