The next generation of Cray’s multithreaded supercomputer is architecturally very similar to the Cray XMT, but the memory system has been improved significantly and other features have been added to improve reliability, productivity, and performance. This paper begins with a review of the Cray XMT followed by an overview of the next generation Cray XMT implementation. Finally, the new features ...

For many isolated regions in the developing world micro-grids which combine photovoltaic electricity generation and battery storage may represent the most reliable and least expensive form of energy service. Due to climate induced solar resource variations, achieving high reliability levels necessitates excess generation and storage capacity which can significantly increase the end consumer cos...

The purpose of this paper is to present results of initial experience with a clinical reasoning task which assesses two clearly defined aspects of clinical problem solving. Fourteen senior and 40 junior medical students at the University of Michigan Medical School participated in this study. They were given three clinical reasoning problems--the hypothesis generation and testing tasks (HG & T)....

Placement of protection devices in a conventional feeder (without distributed generation) is often performed so as to minimize traditional reliability indices (SAIDI, SAIFI, MAIFIe...), assuming the sole source(s) of energy at substation(s). Distributed generation (DG) and storage units located on the feeder may be constrained in terms of power and/or energy capacity, and may include renewable ...

Automatic code generation is a standard method in software engineering, improving the code reliability as well as reducing the overall development time. In hardware engineering, automatic code generation is utilized within a number of development tools, the integrated code generation functionality, however, is not exposed to developers wishing to implement their own generators. In this paper, V...

This paper proposes an efficient cut set approach to enumerate the subsets cut groups (SCG) from apriori knowledge of minimal cutsets of a network. These SCG block a given amount of flow through the network despite the network being (s, t) connected and are being used to evaluate capacity related reliability (CRR) by employing any sum of disjoint product approach. For each minimal cutset and a ...

In this contribution we study the multi-frequency, carrier-phase slip detection capabilities of a single receiver. Our analysis is based on an analytical expression that we present for the multi-frequency minimal detectable carrier phase cycle slip.

background: finding the right word is a necessity in communication, and its evaluation has always been a challenging clinical issue, suggesting the need for valid and reliable measurements. the homophone meaning generation test (hmgt) can measure the ability to switch between verbal concepts, which is required in word retrieval. the purpose of this study was to adapt and validate the persian ve...
