One method used by disk arrays to achieve high availability at lower cost than mirroring is a parity technique. The main drawback of such arrays are that they need four disk accesses to update a data block-two to read old data and parity, and two to write new data and parity. The authors describe four new methods to improve the update performance of disk arrays that use the parity technique from four accesses to three and, in some cases, to two. All the schemes sacrifice disk storage efficiency for improved update performance by relaxing the requirement that the modified data and parity blocks be written back into their original locations. The best technique, called 'floating parity track', achieves much improved update performance while using only 1% more disk space than traditional arrays.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":103288,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"19 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123033656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithms allow for writing the files into the buffer cache by the processes. The number of active processes in the system and the length of the queue to the disk buffer cache are considered in sensitivity study. This information is obtained dynamically during the execution of the algorithms. The time for a block to become available for updating in the buffer cache is given. The number of blocks available for updating in the buffer cache is derived. The performance of the algorithms is compared. It is shown that the proposed algorithms allow for better performance than an algorithm that does not use information about the system load.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":103288,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"23 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121013858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The architecture consists of a two-layer backpropagation network with a fixed number of inputs modelling a window moving along the time series in fixed steps to capture the regularities in the underlying data. Several network configurations are described and the results are analysed. The effect of varying the window and step size is also discussed as are the effects of overtraining. The error backpropagation network was trained with currency exchange data for the period 1988-9 on hourly updates. The first 200 trading days were used as the training set and the following three months as the test set. The network is evaluated both for long term forecasting without feedback (i.e. only the forecast prices are used for the remaining trading days) and for short term forecasting with hourly feedback. By careful network design and analysis of the training set, the backpropagation learning procedure is an active way of forecasting time series. The network learns the training set near perfect and shows accurate prediction, making at least 20% profit on the last 60 trading days of 1989.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":103288,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115955367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Lynx component is a single-board multiprocessor using advanced, three-dimensional packaging technology to put four high performance RISC processors, memory, and I/O on a single 6m VME board. Galactica Net consists of a high speed mesh network combined with memory update hardware to maintain cache and memory coherence. Multiple Lynx computer nodes are connected together by Galactica Net to form shared memory systems with thousands of processors. A key feature of the Lynx/Galactica Net system is a tight coupling between the operating system and the coherency protocol for efficient, low-overhead coherency. An indication of the expected performance is provided through simulations using hardware-collected parallel address traces.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":103288,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116349547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem is intensified in unstable environments, where changing margins due to deregulation and new entrants, new products, and customer unbundling of firms' offerings can combine to leave unprepared firms with growing numbers of loss-making client relationships. With information on the profitability of customer relationships, managers can identity and defend their most attractive market segments, and aim to turn loss-making accounts into profitable ones. BZW, a London-based securities house, developed an innovative information system that combines activity-based accounting principles and a model of customer profitability based on an income assignment for each of the 6000 trades the firm makes in a day. The system's strategic value appears to be considerable, and industry profitability data recently published will enable us to test the value hypothesis.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":103288,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116929093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The image is essentially the program's logical procedure-invocation tree, displayed radially from the root. An algorithm is described that condenses the image both radially and laterally, producing a color-dense abstraction of the program's execution behavior: a program signature, within a workstation window. An implementation of the tool was made in X-Windows, including a user interface that can zoom the image and annotate any node in the image with the corresponding procedure-invocation data. Experimentation with the system was performed with trace data from Panda, a concurrent logic programming system on shared-memory multiprocessors. The authors demonstrate how the tool helps the programmer develop intuitions about parallel performance and how condensation successfully abstracts very large traces.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":103288,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117137280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The BirliX kernel is basically an abstract data type management system. Its basic services are the definition of abstract data types, their instantiation, their identification, and the communication between instances. All abstract data types share a common set of type-independent attributes and methods inherited from the kernel-defined primary type. These methods have been designed to provide mechanisms that are considered useful to build fault tolerant and secure applications in a distributed environment. The Unix emulation on top of the kernel takes advantage of the underlying persistent abstract data type management system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":103288,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115496705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using distributed cognition as leverage to approach this problem, explorability is proposed as a framework within which to examine the inferences required to map the desired goal onto an appropriate action. Explorability is supported by consistency. affordances, and culture, each a constraint limiting the space of possible inferences. The three components are described, and the interaction of these three concepts is examined both as a problem and an opportunity for interface designers. The explorability framework is examined as an analytical tool to make explanations and predictions for interface designs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":103288,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114592577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
