This paper presents a detailed characterization of Java application and applet workloads in terms of reuse and sharing of Java code at the program, class, and method level. In order to expose more sharing opportunities, techniques for detecting code equivalence even in the presence of minor code changes or constant pool index differences are also proposed and examined. The analyzed application ...

This paper describes the design and use of a synthetic Web proxy workload generator (ProWGen) to investigate the sensitivity of proxy cache replacement policies to selected Web workload characteristics. Tracedriven simulations with synthetic workloads from ProWGen show the relative sensitivity of three popular cache replacement algorithms – LRU, LFUAging, and GD-Size – to Zipf slope, temporal l...

The NASA Task Load Index (TLX) is a popular technique for measuring subjective mental workload. It relies on a multidimensional construct to derive an overall workload score based on a weighted average of ratings on six subscales: mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, performance, effort, and frustration level. A program for implementing a computerized version of the NASA TLX is desc...

Parallel computing plays a major role in almost all the fields from research to major concern problem solving purposes. Many researches are till now focusing towards the area of parallel processing. Nowadays it extends its usage towards the end user application such as GPU as well as multi-core processor development. The bandwidth measurement is essential for resource management and for studyin...

This study aimed to identify aspects that potentially increase the vulnerability of nursing workers to tuberculosis, through the verification of personal life, work and disease knowledge indexes. The sample is composed of 81 nursing workers involved with assistance in the night and day shifts at USP Teaching Hospital, who answered a questionnaire about life and work habits. The sample aggregate...

OBJECTIVE To compare the acute effects of a cycling intervention on carotid arterial hemodynamics between basketball athletes and sedentary controls. METHODS Ten young long-term trained male basketball athletes (BA) and nine age-matched male sedentary controls (SC) successively underwent four bouts of exercise on a bicycle ergometer at the same workload. Hemodynamic variables at right common ...
