State machine replication is a common approach for building fault-tolerant services. A Replicated State Machine (RSM) typically uses a consensus protocol such as Paxos [1] to decide on the order of updates and thus keep replicas consistent. Using Paxos, the RSM can continue to process new requests, as long as more than half of the replicas remain operational. If this bound is violated, however,...

The reluctance synchronous motor (RSM) is a machine working on the basis of development of reluctance torque development. The rotor configuration with the salient poles is made from the rotor of asynchronous motor if some rotor teeth are symmetrically removed (mill out). A different air gap in d and q axis enables development of a reluctance torque. The rotor cage is asymmetrical because some b...

The interconnection networks and the communication system software in clusters of multiprocessors are critical to achieving high performance. Recently, Sun Microsystems has introduced a new system area network, Sun Fire Link interconnect, for its Sun Fire cluster systems with some performance results at the MPI level. Sun Fire Link is a memory-based interconnect with layered system software com...

For any Lie algebra of classical type or type G 2 we define a K-theoretic analog of Dunkl's elements, the so-called truncated Ruijsenaars-Schneider-Macdonald elements, RSM-elements for short, in the corresponding Yang-Baxter group, which form a commuting family of elements in the latter. For the root systems of type A we prove that the subalgebra of the bracket algebra generated by the RSM-elem...

The integration of optimization algorithms with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is becoming more practical as the software becomes more robust and the hardware more efficient. In order to investigate the application of CFD-based optimization methods in the chemical process industry, two polymer die design examples were explored using different slot die geometries, different CFD codes, and di...

BACKGROUND Recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (RSM) has a multifactorial etiology, mainly due to karyotype abnormalities including balanced translocation, anatomical uterine disorders, and immunological factors, although in 50%-60% the etiology is unexplained. The treatment of RSM remains challenging, and the role of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in RSM is controversial. CASE REPORT Mrs HM...

The digestibility of different vegetable protein sources were investigated and the effects of supplementing canola meal (CM) as partial inclusions were studied in growing pigs, to determine the performance parameters and its economic importance. In Exp. 1, four pigs (average initial BW = 15.4 ± 0.35 kg, 5 weeks of age) fitted with simple T-cannula at terminal ileum, were fed four diets followin...

Classification is a kind of basic semantics that people often use to manage versatile contents in daily life. Resource Space Model (RSM) is a semantic model for sharing and managing various resources using normalized classification semantics. Gossip-based peer-to-peer (P2P) techniques are reliable and scalable protocols for information dissemination. Incorporating RSM with gossip-based techniqu...

The interconnection networks and the communication system software are critical in achieving high performance in clusters. Sun Fire Link interconnect, is a memory-based interconnect, where the Sun MPI uses the Remote Shared Memory (RSM) model for its user-level inter-node messaging. This paper presents the overall architecture of the Sun Fire Link and its messaging layer. We provide an in-depth...
