This paper describes a new scheduling and allocation algorithm which optimizes a datapath-controller system for clock cycle time. The cycle time of a VLSI system depends not only on the characteristics of the datapath and controller in isolation but also on the interactions between them. A datapath may impose both arrival time constraints on controller inputs and departure time constraints on c...

In this study, we used a word search puzzle paradigm to investigate age differences in the rate of information gain (RG; i.e., word gain as a function of time) and the cues used to make patch-departure decisions in information foraging. The likelihood of patch departure increased as the profitability of the patch decreased generally. Both younger and older adults persisted past the point of opt...
