Dynamic Cheap Eagerness

September 2001 · Lecture Notes in Computer Science

Karl-Filip Faxen

Dynamic cheap eagerness extends cheap eagerness by allowing the decision of whether to build a thunk or speculatively evaluate its body to be deferred until run time. We have implemented this optimisation in a compiler for a simple functional language and measured its effect on a few benchmarks. It turns out that a large part of the overhead of graph reduction can be eliminated, but that ... [Show full abstract] run-times and instruction counts are not affected in the same degree.

Reservation, a tool to reduce the balking effect and the probability of delay

September 2017 · Operations Research Letters

Benjamin Legros

We investigate a threshold reservation policy implemented within a single customers’ class. From an explicit performance analysis, we prove that the potential of reservation is into the reduction of the balking effect together with a higher servers’ utilization. However, it also may result in a higher expected waiting time and more abandonment. We conclude that reservation can be efficiently ... [Show full abstract] implemented in large systems, under high workload situations, with a low waiting aversion and a low impatience.

DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING COMPONENT FAILURE TRENDS.

Boris DeBussy

A flexible datalogging program, which allows the user to selectively compile test failure information, can add significant management utility to an in-circuit test system. The objective of datalogging should be the effective utilization of the fault data produced during the in-circuit test sequence. Properly implemented, the analyzed results can lead to a reduction in component and assembly ... [Show full abstract] faults. A discussion of a well developed datalogging system is included.
