In this paper we introduce a response time analysis technique for Synchronous Data Flow programs mapped to multiple parallel dependent tasks running on a compute cluster of the Kalray MPPA-256 many-core processor. The analysis we derive is based on the Multicore Response Time Analysis (MRTA) framework. We extend this framework by deriving a mathematical model of the multi-level bus arbitration ...

A half century ago, Max Perutz and John Kendrew determined the crystal structure of two heme-containing proteins: hemoglobin and myoglobin, respectively.1,2 These landmark discoveries created the foundation for a detailed biochemical understanding of how protein structure influences and affects its ability to bind and carry oxygen. Perutz and Kendrew were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962. Since ...

In this paper, a new distribution, named ‘the Inverted Hamza distribution’, was introduced. It is an extension of the distribution that can model real-world data with upside-down bathtub shape and heavy tails. Mathematical statistical characteristics such as quantile function, moments, entropy measure, stochastic ordering order statistics have been derived. Furthermore, dependability measures s...
