In simulating material flow systems, due to the large number of entities and inventory related parameters involved, computer memory utilization, the simulation run speed and managing input and output are the major issues. In this paper, we introduce an innovative approach to resolve these issues. We devise a simulation model that utilizes variable arrays to depict parts and inventory related pa...

This paper discusses summary measures for the speed of adjustment in possibly cointegrated Vector Autoregressive Processes (VAR). In particular we propose long-run half-lives, based on interim and total multipliers. We discuss their relation with Granger-noncausality and other types of half-life, which are shown to convey different information, except in the univariate AR(1) case. We present li...

MPEG4 breaks the complete video frame up into smaller frames. A 3 million transistor MPEG4 codec uses a frame size of 176×144 and can process at a rate of 10 Hz, with a core speed of 30 MHz [6]. Scaling to 2011, several cores can be used to process HDTV2 frames at 30 Hz: 10 cores if they can run at 0.8 GHz, 5 cores if they can run at 1.5 GHz (see section 3.1 for the scenarios for hardware speed...

We present the Z Coder a new adaptive data compression coder for coding binary data The Z Coder is derived from the Golomb run length coder and retains most of the speed and simplicity of the earlier coder The Z Coder can also be thought of as a multiplication free approximate arithmetic coder showing the close relationship between run length coding and arithmetic cod ing The Z Coder improves u...

Flite is a small, fast run-time synthesis library suitable for embedded systems and servers. Flite is designed as an alternative run-time synthesis platform for Festival in applications where speed and size are important. Voices built using the FestVox process may be compiled into efficient representations that can be linked against Flite to produce complete text-tospeech synthesizers. The Flit...

A promising approach to reducing disk energy consumption is to use multi-speed disks with lower rotational speeds, and allowing disks to run slowly when workloads are light can reduce their large contribution to the power used by video servers. We propose an SSD cache management scheme for video servers which use multi-speed disks. We formulate an integer linear problem (ILP) that determines vi...

This study investigated differences in average VO2 of maximal effort interval running to maximal effort constant rate running at lactate threshold matched for time. The average VO2 and distance covered of 10 recreational male runners (VO2max: 4158 ± 390 mL · min(-1)) were compared between a maximal effort constant-rate run at lactate threshold (CRLT), a maximal effort interval run (INT) consist...
