How to allow fast network processing unit (NPU) performance testing in supporting fast data path functions in a router is a challenging issue. It is more so in a router design phase when there are a vast number of design choices to be tested and the microcode for the fast data path functions is yet to be developed. In this paper, a novel NPU worst-case performance analysis methodology is develo...

Abstract As process technology scales, the number of transistors that can fit in a unit area has increased exponentially. Processor throughput, memory storage, and memory throughput have all been increasing at an exponential pace. As such, DRAM has become an ever-tightening bottleneck for applications with irregular memory access patterns. Computer architects in industry sometimes use ad hoc an...

Objective: Determination of HbA1c level is a precious indicator for therapeutic follow-up of patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Our study aimed to evaluate the analytical characteristics of Capillarys 3 Octa® HbA1c measurement by capillary electrophoresis. Materials and Methods: Our study involved 265 venous whole blood specimens repeatability, intermediate fidelity, accuracy, linearity,...

  Background and Objective: The reliability and validity of monitors for self-monitoring of blood glucose are debated. We evaluated the analytical performance of Accu-check Active (Boehringer Mannheim, Roche) which is one of the most commonly used monitors in Iran. Material and Methods: We compared the monitor readings with the reference values by percentage of values within...

In studies on green supply chain, performance evaluation is an extremely important field. It aims to allow the nodes in supply chain to realize their positions and influence on benefit in overall supply chain in order enhance the supply chain. Thus, implementation of effective performance evaluation is the key to enhance green supply chain development. Distribution service industry is the impor...

Complex system evaluation lies in the core position of system engineering theory and methodology and is also a research hotspot and difficulty in system engineering theory and practice research. The paper, taking performance evaluation of integrates with agriculture base and supermarket for example, advances an evaluation indicator system and a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation algorithm. Firstly,...

The decision-making process can be supported by many tools such as Data Warehouse (DW), On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) and Geographical Information System (GIS). Much research found in database literature is aimed at integrating these technologies. However, most of them do not specify neither evaluate multidimensional-geographical processing algorithms. This paper proposes two algorithms,...
