Application of effective remedies of fight against salt sedimentation gives the chance of creation of the reverse, closed and drainless systems conforming to requirements of modern production and ecology. Salt sedimentation inhibitors at an additive to water from 2,0 to 10 g/m3 for 90% and more prevent scaling on a surface of heatexchange devices, boilers, pipelines, etc. For the purpose of dev...

Suchmaschinen und Big-Data-Analytics-Anwendungen zielen darauf ab, ad-hoc relevante Informationen zu Anfragen zu finden. Häufig müssen dafür große Mengen natürlichsprachiger Texte verarbeitet werden. Um nicht nur potentiell relevante Texte, sondern direkt relevante Informationen zu ermitteln, werden Texte zunehmend tiefer analysiert. Dafür können theoretisch komplexe Pipelines mit zahlreichen A...

Many question answering systems and related components have been developed in recent years. Since question answering involves several tasks and subtasks, common in many systems, existing components can be combined in various ways to build the tailored question answering pipelines. QAestro framework provides the tools to semantically describe question answering components and automatically gener...

We discuss the design of energy-efficient pipelines for asynchronous VLSI architectures. To maximize throughput in asynchronous pipelines it is often necessary to insert buffer stages, increasing the energy overhead. Instead of optimizing pipelines for minimum energy or maximum throughput, we consider a joint energy-time metric of the form E , where E is the energy per operation and is the time...

The complexity of parallel programming greatly limits the effectiveness of chip-multiprocessors (CMPs). This paper presents the case for task superscalar pipelines, an abstraction of traditional out-of-order superscalar pipelines, that orchestrates an entire chip-multiprocessor in the same degree out-of-order pipelines manage functional units. Task superscalar leverages an emerging class of tas...

In order to compete in today’s highly competitive marketplace supply chains must be engineered to match product characteristics and customer requirements. As products proceed through their life cycles these requirements dramatically change. Consequently supply chain strategies must be dynamically matched so as to maximise competitiveness. This paper demonstrates how an innovative UK lighting co...

Pipelines that operate on buffers often work well to mitigate the high latency inherent in interprocessor communication and in accessing data on disk. Running a single pipeline on each node works well when each pipeline stage consumes and produces data at the same rate. If a stage might consume data faster or slower than it produces data, a single pipeline becomes unwieldy. We describe how we h...

We present approaches for exploiting data parallelism in XML processing pipelines through novel compilation strategies to the MapReduce framework. Pipelines in our approach consist of sequences of processing steps that consume XML-structured data and produce, often through calls to “black-box” functions, modified (i.e., updated) XML structures. Our main contributions are a set of strategies for...

Genomic pipelines consist of several pieces of third party software and, because of their experimental nature, frequent changes and updates are commonly necessary thus raising serious deployment and reproducibility issues. Docker containers are emerging as a possible solution for many of these problems, as they allow the packaging of pipelines in an isolated and self-contained manner. This make...
