This paper considers representations of the so-called ‘gang of 49’ which appeared in the mainstream news in Australia from late 2007. In particular, it focuses on how Indigenous masculinity is associated with discourses of criminal behavior, delinquency, violence, and aggression within this media coverage. In examining these gendered discourses of violence, the paper also considers the ways in ...

We investigate the use of runtime measurements to improve job scheduling on a parallel machine. Emphasis is on gang scheduling based strategies. With the information gathered at runtime, we deene a task classiication scheme based on fuzzy logic and Bayesian estimators. The resulting local task classiication is used to provide better service to I/O bound and interactive jobs under gang schedulin...

Long-form film criticism is not as hopelessly moribund some observers contend. Serious general-interest publications still contain serious articles by reviewers and essayists; home-video...

several other experimental systems [13, 39, 4, 17, 6]. At first blush, it might appear that gang scheduling is a luxury that may not be worth the price. An optimal packing of gangs that gives minimal wasted processors is an NPcomplete problem. Migration of gangs might be required to compensate for a poor initial mapping. The code to simultaneously schedule all the threads of each gang might be ...

This paper proposes a computer-based recursion algorithm for automatic charge of power device of electric vehicles carrying electromagnet. The charging system includes charging cable with one end connecting gang socket, electromagnetic gear driving the connecting socket and a charging pile breaking or closing, and detecting part for detecting electric vehicle static call or start state. The gan...

Two different approaches have been commonly used to address problems associated with space sharing scheduling strategies: (a) augmenting space sharing with backfilling, which performs out of order job scheduling; and (b) augmenting space sharing with time sharing, using a technique called coscheduling or gang scheduling. With three important experimental results – impact of priority queue order...

We have implemented an experimental gang sched-uler on Cenju-3/DEE1] in order to investigate ef-cient scheduling schemes for multiple user environment with high performance communication on parallel machines. The Cenju-3/DE system provides user-level inter-processor communication mechanisms for a single user. It realizes high performance communication, but cannot be shared among multiple users....

Effective scheduling strategies to improve response times, throughput, and utilization are an important consideration in large supercomputing environments. Such machines have traditionally used space-sharing strategies to accommodate multiple jobs at the same time. This approach, however, can result in low system utilization and large job wait times. This paper discusses three techniques that c...

The very existence and purpose of street gangs is predicated on having an external threat or enemy. It is also recognized that gangs form allies as well as rivals with other gangs. The fact that gangs are embedded in an intricate structure of both positive (ally) and negative (rivalry) relationships has rarely been explored in terms of understanding the levels and the patterns of gang violence....
