1. 1. Techniques to Reduce Thread-Level Speculation Overhead

   Författare :Fredrik Warg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer architecture; multithreaded processors; performance evaluation; speculation overhead; thread-level speculation; chip multiprocessors;

   Sammanfattning : The traditional single-core processors are being replaced by chip multiprocessors (CMPs) where several processor cores are integrated on a single chip. While this is beneficial for multithreaded applications and multiprogrammed workloads, CMPs do not provide performance improvements for single-threaded applications. LÄS MER

3. 2. The Ethics of Investing. Making Money or Making a Difference?

   Författare :Joakim Sandberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ethical investment; ethical investing; socially responsible investment; socially responsible investing; ethical funds; screening; shareholder activism; sin stocks; active shareholding; corporate governance; responsible ownership; relationship investing; philanthropy; speculation; the stock market; annual general meeting; investor influence; consistency; conscientiousness; collective responsibility; generalisation test; pragmatism; consequentialism; demandingness; applied ethics; ethics; moral philosophy;

   Sammanfattning : The concepts of ‘ethical’ and ‘socially responsible’ investment (SRI) have become increasingly popular in recent years and funds which offer this kind of investment have attracted many individual investors. The present book addresses the issue of ‘How ought one to invest?’ by critically engaging with the ideas of the proponents of this movement about what makes ‘ethical’ investing ethical. LÄS MER

4. 3. Shadows of Cavernous Shades: Charting the Chiaroscuro of Realistic Computing

   Författare :Erik Persson; Data Vetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; history of computing; philosophy of technology; philosophy of computing; realistic computing; virtual reality; object-orientation; business objects; software components; client server database access architectures; Computer science; numerical analysis; systems; control; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll;

   Sammanfattning : During the early 1990s, a novel style of programming often referred to as component-oriented programming quickly grew popular as the state-of-the-art in graphical user interface and client/server development on Windows-based personal computers, largely in competition with object-oriented programming, a partly similar, partly different programming paradigm, with which component-orientation is often compared, combined, and confused. Also during the 1990s, the world-wide web spread its arachnoid gossamer over the globe with deep-ranging ramifications for software component technology. LÄS MER

5. 4. Techniques to Reduce Energy Dissipation in Level-1 Data Caches

   Författare :Alen Bardizbanyan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Sammanfattning : The number of battery powered devices is growing significantly and these devices require energy-efficient hardware to operate for a useful period of time. Also, the future of the performance scaling in processors depends on the energy efficiency as the increasing number of cores on a single chip does not leave room for inefficient microarchitectures.

7. 5. Gender specific epidemiology of tuberculosis in Vietnam

   Författare :Nguyên Hoàng Long; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Tuberculosis; epidemiology; gender; health care seeking; delays; Vietnam;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Globally, about two-thirds of notified tuberculosis (TB) cases are men, only one third are women. Whether this gender difference in notification rates reflects a true difference in TB incidence, or an under-notification of the disease among women is a subject to speculation. LÄS MER
