Architectural integration of RF-interconnect to enhance on-chip communication for many-core chip multiprocessors. $49.99 As the number of cores integrated onto a die increases, the potential for increased throughput exists, as work can be decomposed into parallel tasks and divided among the computing elements. However, the communication architecture between cores must handle an increase in bandwidth demand, as the total traffic on the interconnection network scales with the number of active processor cores and cache banks. Poor wire scaling has complicated things further, leading to increased latency cost of communication between distant points on the die. This motivates our investigation of advanced interconnect architectures aimed at reducing on-chip memory-access latency as well as network power consumption. RF-Interconnect (RF-I) is a low-latency, low-power, high-bandwidth signaling technology projected to scale better than both conventional wires or competing transmission line technologies. In this dissertation, we present the first on-chip interconnection network which utilizes RF-I technology as an overlay upon a conventional wire mesh topology, logically behaving as a set of express-channels (or shortcuts) between distant end-points on the chip. Assuming a 400mm2 (lie, we have demonstrated that in exchange for 0.18% of area overhead on the active layer, RF-I can provide an average 13% (max 18%) boost in application performance, corresponding to an average 22% (max 24%) reduction in packet latency. We have also observed that the patterns of core-to-core and core-to-cache communication may vary over the course of an application’s execution as well as within an application. Informed by these findings, we have employed dynamically adaptive RF-I shortcuts in our topology, which provide communication bandwidth only where and when required. Furthermore, we reduce overall network power-consumption by reducing bandwidth of the baseline mesh links, substituting RF-I for conventional-wire to realize an overall power and performance gain. We demonstrate that this overall strategy can |

Battles $50.76 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Battle, Battle Cry, Battle at the Harzhorn, Battle of Huete, Sack of Genoa. Excerpt: Generally, a battle is a conceptual component in the hierarchy of combat in warfare between two or more armed forces , wherein each group will seek to defeat the others within the scope of a military campaign , and are well defined in duration, area and force commitment. Wars and military campaigns are guided by strategy , whereas battles take place on a level of planning and execution known as operational mobility . German strategist Carl von Clausewitz stated that “the employment of battles … to achieve the object of war” was the essence of strategy .The Battle of Waterloo by William Sadler II Etymology The definition of a battle cannot be arrived at solely through the names of historical battles, many of which are misnomers . The word battle is a loanword in English from the Old French bataille , first attested in 1297, and is itself a borrowing from Late Latin battualia , meaning “exercise of soldiers and gladiators in fighting and fencing,” from Latin battuere “beat”, from which the English word battery is also derived via Middle English batri , and comes from the staged battles in the Colosseum in Rome that may have numbered 10,000 individuals.Characteristics of battle The defining characteristic of the battle as a concept in the Theory of combat has been a dynamic one through the course of military history, changing with the changes in the organisation, employment and technology of military forces.While the British military historian Sir John Keegan suggested an ideal definition of battle as “something which happens between two armies leading to the moral then physical disintegration of one or the other of them” , the origins and outcomes of battles can rarely be summarized so |

Challenge of Organizational Change By Rosabeth Moss Kanter $33.95 <P>In an era of increased global competition, of takeovers, downsizing, restructuring, and even outright failure, managing intelligent organizational change is the most difficult challenge facing business. Kanter, Stein, and Jick present here a comprehensive overview and an authoritative model for how to and, in some cases how not to, institute change in organizations.<P>Building upon their “Big Three” model of change, the authors focus on internal and external forces that set events in motion; the major kinds of change that correspond to external and internal change pressures; and the principal tasks involved in managing the change process. Several “portraits” of companies undergoing different types of change, coupled with the authors’ own expert analyses, prove that no one person or group can make change “happen” alone. Instead, the authors assert that it is the delicate balance among key players that makes organizational change a success.<P>The authors analyze the <I>forces for change</I> by examining Banc One, Apple Computer, and Lehman Brothers, among others, to illustrate environmental and cyclical change as businesses grow. Then they turn to <I>forms of change,</I> drawing on the Western-Delta merger, strategy change at Bell Atlantic, and takeover turmoil at Lucky Stores, to show how companies change their structures and cultures. The section on <I>execution of change</I> shows “change masters,” to use Kanter’s own famous term, at work at Motorola, General Electric, and other leading firms, as well as the difficulties of implementing change at General Motors and Microswitch.<P>Fundamental organizational change, they argue, is exemplified by identity change, involving much more than the transfer of tangible assets. Managing the feelings, fears, and hopes of people must be the central strategy during such transitions. In this essential volume for managers and analysts of change, Kanter, Stein, and Jick offer powerful insights, practical new directions for actio |
