In this paper, we propose a map-based adaptive insertion policy (MAIP) for a novel cache replacement. The MAIP estimates the data reuse possibility on the basis of data reuse history. To track data reuse history, the MAIP employs a bitmap data structure, which we call memory access map. The memory access map holds all memory accessed locations in a fixed sized memory area to detect the data reu...

The recent advancement in the field of distributed computing depicts a need of developing highly associative and less expensive cache memories for the state-of-art processors i.e., Intel Core i6, i7, etc. Hence, various conventional studies introduced cache replacement policies which are one of the prominent key factors to determine the effectiveness of a cache memory. Most of the conventional ...

In this statement, we discuss two kinds of properties that a grounded model of the learning of word meaning should have, those related to the way in which linguistic and non-linguistic processing should interact and those related to the representational demands placed on such a model. We also introduce Playpen (Gasser & Colunga 1997) a neural network architecture with these properties. Playpen ...

Vaccination through recombinant proteins against rumen methanogenesis provides a mitigation approach to reduce enteric methane (CH4) emissions in ruminants. The objective of present study was to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of a new vaccine candidate protein (EhaF) on methanogenesis and microbial population in the rumen of goats. We amplified the gene mru 1407 encoding protein EhaF using fresh...

The aim of the present study was to assess the morbidity of ampullary renal pelvis (ARP) and document its natural history in post-natal life. A total of 1,167 newborn infants with prenatally suspected hydronephrosis were retrospectively analyzed. Of these, 65 patients were diagnosed with ARP by computed tomography urography (CTU) and/or magnetic resonance urography (MRU). All cases were followe...

The goal of cache management is to maximize data reuse. Collaborative caching provides an interface for software to communicate access information to hardware. In theory, it can obtain optimal cache performance. In this paper, we study a collaborative caching system that allows a program to choose different caching methods for its data. As an interface, it may be used in arbitrary ways, sometim...

A multithreaded computer maintains multiple program counters and register les to support concurrent or overlapped execution of multiple threads of context, and to provide fast context switching for tolerance of memory latency. In this paper, we apply trace-driven simulation to study the performance impact of a multithreaded architecture on the storage hierarchy. Particularly, we examined the ee...

Renal colic is the most frequent nonobstetric cause for abdominal pain and subsequent hospitalization during pregnancy. The physio-anatomical changes in the urinary tract and the presence of the fetus may complicate the clinical presentation and management of nephrolithiasis. Ultrasound (US) is the primary radiological investigation of choice. Magnetic resonance urography (MRU) and low-dose com...

Data dissemination is an important application in vehicular networks. We observe that messages in vehicular networks are usually subject to both time and space constraints, and therefore should be disseminated during a specified duration and within a specific coverage. Since vehicles are moving in and out of a region, dissemination of a message should be repeated to achieve reliability. However...

The related parameters of cation size and valence that control the crystallization of Sr(3)CaRu(2)O(9) into a 1:2 B-site-ordered perovskite structure were explored by cationic substitution at the strontium and calcium sites and by the application of high pressure. At ambient pressures, Sr(3)MRu(2)O(9) stoichiometries yield multiphasic mixtures for M = Ni(2+), Mg(2+), and Y(3+), whereas pseudocu...
