Dynamic irregular applications such as molecular dynamics (MD) simulation often suffer considerable performance deterioration during execution. To address this problem, an optimal data-reordering schedule has been developed for runtime memory-access optimization of MD simulations on parallel computers. Analysis of the memory-access penalty during MD simulations shows that the performance improv...

Creating a forcing schedule A forcing schedule can be drawn up by using the previously listed cold periods. For example a forcing operation wants to have marketable pot hyacinths with flower clusters easily visible between the leaves on 7 December. If it takes one week to green up and pre-force the plants in the greenhouse, and if the cold period for that cultivar is 10 weeks, the bulbs will ha...

The toxicity of 6-Aminonicotinamide in 60 patients with advanced malignant disease has been described. The toxicity took two clinical forms: a "deficiency" state with char acteristics of a mixed B-complex vitamin deficiency, and a neurologic disturbance pre sumably due to a direct action on the central nervous system. Individual susceptibility was widely variable. 6-Aminonicotinamide exhibited ...

We present a prooling based technique for power estimation. This technique is implemented in the pdss (Proole Driven Synthesis System) for the synthesis of low power designs. Initially, each module in the module library is characterized for the average switching capac-itance per input vector. The input description is simulated using user-speciied set of input vectors to collect the proole data ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The objective of this report was to show the importance of pre-anesthetic assessment in reducing morbidity and mortality of surgical patients and alert to problems and anesthetic care associated with obstructive sleep apnea. CASE REPORT This is a 28-year old male patient with class II obesity, sleep apnea, hypertension, referred to the pre-anesthetic outpatient clini...
