This study builds on Laufer and Hulstijn’s (2001) motivational-cognitive construct of task-induced involvement in learning vocabulary and addresses itself to its strong claim that the depth of processing is the overriding factor in learning words. The paper first re-examines the effect of processing load and then of task type on the initial learning and retention of words. To do so, 60 EFL lear...

This paper is about some major trends that are occurring with respect to the development of task analysis methodology. One clear trend is that better methodologies are being developed to analyze cognitive tasks (e.g., Greeno, 1976; Gregg, 1976: Resnick, 1976; Landa, 1983; Scandura, 1983). Among the most promising developments here are methodologies for analyzing ways in which knowledge should b...

Exascale computing have challenges, most of which can be potentially addressed by Many-task computing paradigm through efficient task execution frameworks that are several orders of magnitude beyond current batch schedulers. This paper proposes a light-weight discrete event simulator, SimMatrix, which simulates distributed job scheduler comprising of millions of nodes and billions of cores/task...
