Existing association rule mining algorithms suffer from many problems when mining massive transactional datasets. One major problem is the high memory dependency: gigantic data structures built are assumed to fit in main memory; in addition, the recursive mining process to mine these structures is also too voracious in memory resources. This paper proposes a new association rule-mining algorith...

throughout human evolution history, beauty has always been one of the necessary integral components of human need. as greer (2010) said, “one of the prehistoric human’s responses to the animal life around them was to etch and paint these animals on the walls of their caves. turning them into art and rendering them beautiful was a natural response - a way to help make sense of a hostile and conf...

Microstructures is an international peer-reviewed, open access, online journal. The journal of publishes articles covering new research and developments, perspectives, reviews related to the microstructures materials, including, but not limited metals alloys, ceramics, polymers, composites, crystals, glasses, biomaterials, interfaces nanomaterials.

FinFET memory is widely used in various semiconductor products due to its good read/write margin, lower power consumption, and faster driving speed. However, the forked 3D physical structure increased density of storage are very susceptible manufacturing defects, which may cause functional logic faults that different from traditional planar CMOS memories. Therefore, it critical explore an effec...

A novel memory subsystem called Memory Expansion Technology (MXT) has been built for compressing main memory contents. This allows effectively a memory expansion that presents a “real” memory larger than the physically available memory. This paper provides an overview of the architecture and OS support and in-depth analysis of the performance impact of memory compression using the SPEC2000 benc...

A novel memory subsystem called Memory Expansion Technology (MXT) has been built for fast hardware compression of main-memory content. This allows a memory expansion to present a “real” memory larger than the physically available memory. This paper provides an overview of the memorycompression architecture, its OS support under Linux and Windows, and an analysis of the performance impact of mem...

In this paper, we present the description and evaluation of a novel physical design tool, BISRAMGEN, that can generate reconfigurable and fault-tolerant RAM modules. This tool, first proposed in [3], designs a redundant RAM array with accompanying built-in self-test (BIST) and built-in self-repair (BISR) logic that can switch out faulty rows and switch in spare rows. Built-in self-repair causes...
