An architecture for a memory-resident, Parallel and Persistent ObjectSTore (PPOST) is suggested. Different object-oriented databases might be built on top of PPOST. The term memory-resident (or main memory based) means that the primary storage device is main memory. Persistence is guaranteed automatically by managing secondary and stable storage devices (such as main memory with uninterrupted p...

Makassar is one of the metropolitan cities located in Indonesia which recently experiences massive an increased construction because of population growth. Mapping the spatial distribution and development of the built-up region is the best method that can use as an indicator to set the urban planning policy. The purpose of this study is to identify changes in land use and density in Makassar Cit...

Memory management is a critical issue for many large object-oriented applications, but in C++ only explicit memory reclamation through the delete operator is generally available. We analyse diierent possibilities for memory management in C++ and present a dynamic memory management framework which can be customised to the need of speciic applications. The framework allows full integration and co...

1.1 1:30 p.m. "An Efficient Self-Test Structure for Sequential Machines" S.Z. Hassan Rolm Mil-Spec Computers In this paper, a BIST structure for sequential machines is presented. The approach requires augmentation of the machine by the addition of an extra input and some logic. The test sequence is independent of the function implemented and depends only on the number of input combinations and ...

Researchers have searched for scalable alternatives to the symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) architecture since it was first introduced in 1982. This paper introduces an alternative view of the relationship between scalable technologies and SMPs. Instead of replacing large SMPs with scalable technology, we propose new scalable techniques that allow large SMPs to be tied together efficiently, while...

This paper introduces design and basic performance of the DSM(distributed shared memory) system on a cluster of clusters. Networking devices such as Myrinet have improved the performance of cluster systems significantly. In addition to that, such kind of network devices introduced a new hierarchical architecture; a multi-cluster, a cluster of high-performance clusters. To ease the difficulty of...

We have built a 16-way, ccNUMA multiprocessor prototype to study the feasibility of building large scale servers out of Standard High Volume (SHV) components. Using a cache-coherent interconnect, our prototype combines four 4-processor SMPs built using 350MHz Intel Xeon processors, yielding a 16-way system with a total of 4 GBytes of physical memory distributed over the nodes. Such an environme...

The von Neumann architecture has been the status quo since dawn of modern computing. Computers built on are composed an intelligent master processor (e.g., CPU) and dumb memory/storage devices incapable computation memory disk). However, skyrocketing data volume in computing is calling such into question. excessive amounts movement between more real-world applications machine learning AI applic...

In this paper we sketch out a computational theory of spatial cognition motivated by navigational behaviours, ecological requirements, and neural mechanisms as identified in animals and man. Spatial cognition is considered in the context of a cognitive agent built around the action-perception cycle. Besides sensors and effectors, the agent comprises multiple memory structures including a workin...

Modernistic scalable multiprocessors are mostly built with a distributed-shared memory architecture. Large scale shared memory multiprocessors have long memory latencies for the remote memory access. And these latencies can quickly offset system performance earned from the exploitation of parallelism. In order to improve system performance, we must reduce memory latencies. The useful way for th...
