Time to green-light sustainable IT
Comment For example, reducing the organisation's travel carbon footprint and costs by investing in high-definition telepresence capabilities reduces the effect on the physical world but increases the need for equipment and bandwidth in the data centre. [17 Jul 2008]
Enterprise Service Bus: A Definition
White Paper An enterprise service bus (ESB) is a middleware solution that enables interoperability among heterogeneous environments using a service-oriented model. Although frequently associated with concepts like "integration" and "mediation," an ESB also... [17 Jul 2008]
Google open sources data-moving tool
News Protocol Buffers is a sort of interface definition language (IDL) but IDLs have a reputation for being over-complicated, he said. Google has open sourced an internal development tool called 'Protocol Buffers', a data description language that forms... [11 Jul 2008]
Ultra Wide Bandwidth Communications Towards Cognitive Radio
White Paper After the definition of a possible scenario, the paper discusses Ultra Wide Bandwidth (UWB) technology as one of the transmission techniques suitable for implementing a Cognitive Radio system. Cognitive Radio (CR) is an emerging approach for a more... [11 Jul 2008]
An Iterative Approach to Optimal Non-Uniform Sampling and Instantaneous Bandwidth Estimation
White Paper The resultant mapping can also be considered as a new means for the definition of local bandwidth. A new approach to the representation and reconstruction of non-bandlimited signals using non-uniform sampling schemes is introduced. [11 Jul 2008]
A Specific Domain Language for Network Interface Cards
White Paper Through the definition procedure will shine the advantages of these languages. Writing a device driver has never been pleasant. Maintaining or updating the driver is almost hard. This paper addresses this problem by suggesting the use of Specific... [11 Jul 2008]
Standardization of Industrial Ethernet - The Next Battlefield?
White Paper The definition of a Real-time Ethernet standard is a logical consequence of the introduction of Ethernet in industrial automation. Roughly two years after the end of the fieldbus war, the IEC TC65 has started a new standardization project. [10 Jul 2008]
Towards Dynamic Load Balancing Using Page Migration and Loop Re-Partitioning on Omni/SCASH
White Paper Using this dynamic load balancing mechanisms, it is expected that programmers can have load imbalances adjusted automatically by the runtime system without explicit definition of data and task placements in a commodity cluster environment with... [10 Jul 2008]
Approximate Majorization and Fair Online Load Balancing
White Paper It define -supermajorization as an approximate form of vector majorization, and show that this definition generalizes and strengthens the prefix measure proposed by Kleinberg, Rabani and Tardos as well as the popular notion of max-min fairness. [10 Jul 2008]
