Today, technology is changing so fast that even a piece of kit which was created five years ago, could now be classed as obsolete. The only reason for keeping certain types of equipment is that the producer may prefer using certain parts of the kit, or not being able to obtain the latest package. The largest transformation within music production has to be the Internet. It has opened up so many doors not just for producers, but also for the whole world to the point that we have become reliant on…

a combination of architectures, has become the focus of efforts to accelerate the simulation of particle methods. The GPU was initially designed to accelerate graphics processing, nevertheless, from the mid-2000s, it becomes a more generalized computing device that promises accelerate codes that demand high computational power at lower cost. Despite the known challenges to speedup linear system solutions using GPU, in 2011, Hori et al. cite{Hori-2011} developed a GPU-accelerated version of…

Concurrency loss due to IO path critical sections (IPCS) Time lost in waiting queue (WT) to enter a critical section affects an application concurrency (AC), and impedes the application performance from scaling (AC ∝ 1 / WT) if a workload is bursty and highly parallelized. It is apparent that the wait time to enter a critical section is a function of the CS’s size (CSS) and the number of waiting threads (NWT) i.e. WT ∝ CSS * NWT. Furthermore, the work done (IO completed) is proportional to the…

Given the technologies available, why have those in the public safety space largely failed to capitalize on the opportunities available? Investments have been made, with over half (56%) of public safety organizations stating they have had mobile solutions in place for longer than five years. However, the level of adoption varies largely, and many organizations pursue a reactive rather than proactive approach to mobility for a number of reasons. Perhaps most notably, the fragmented nature of the…

Multi - Colored Clouds Clouds often signify barriers that are obstructing people from seeing, what may literally be right before their eyes. They symbolize covers as they themselves cover the sky. Clouds also share symbolism with water and air, as those are the components that they are produced from, resulting in symbols of clear thinking and emotional purity. Anthony Doerr uses the motif of clouds and cloud imagery to convey pathetic fallacies in his characters’ conflicts throughout Memory…

Repairing your own roof is the only way to do it. Honestly, most roof repairs can be done yourself. With the help from the Internet, you too can easily repair a simple roof without having to rely on professional roofing contractors. Besides, calling a professional roofing company to fix a simple leaking roof could end up being quite costly. However, hiring a professional roofing contractor does have its advantages. For instance, do you think you will be able to handle the job if it turns out to…

The introduction of the Sarbane-Oxley Act and its modification after the 2007-2008 recessions has helped many businesses grow and remain sustainable; the Act encourages accountability, and disclosure of information to promote effective and correct decisions, which can steer organisation growth (Rikhardsson & Juhl-Christensen 2008). The collapse of Enron will forever be a remembered in the business world, since this case acts as lesson why it is essential to conduct business in a professional…

assignment 4, the student implements a distributed system with dozens of worker processes that share common data files and cooperate to compute edit-distances for pairs of strings provided by a Resource Manager. The worker processes are in charge of computing the edit-distance for a pair of strings; the resource manager process provides the pairs of strings one at a time and saves the output sent by the workers in the shared storage resource. To support an acceptable level of fault tolerance, a…
