A cross-stack, network-centric architectural design for next-generation datacenters
No full textThis thesis proposes a full-stack, cross-layer datacenter architecture based on in-network computing and near-memory processing paradigms. The proposed datacenter architecture is built atop two principles: (1) utilizing commodity, off-the-shelf hardware (i.e., processor, DRAM, and network devices) with minimal changes to their architecture, and (2) providing a standard interface to the programmers for using the novel hardware. More specifically, the proposed datacenter architecture enables a smart network adapter to collectively compress/decompress data exchange between distributed DNN training nodes and assist the operating system in performing aggressive processor power management. It also deploys specialized memory modules in the servers, capable of performing general-purpose computation and network connectivity.
This thesis unlocks the potentials of hardware and operating system co-design in architecting application-transparent, near-data processing hardware for improving datacenter's performance, energy efficiency, and scalability. We evaluate the proposed datacenter architecture using a combination of full-system simulation, FPGA prototyping, and real-system experiments.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

Previous issue date: 2006-07-14Estimulada pelo dinamismo e competitividade dos mercados, a coopera??o entre organiza??es tem sido cada vez mais uma estrat?gia adotada pelas empresas. Dentro dessa perspectiva, o estabelecimento de alian?as estrat?gicas surge como um importante meio de alcan?ar vantagem competitiva. O sucesso das Alian?as Estrat?gicas, entretanto, exige a efetiva gest?o da parceria como condi??o para que seus potenciais benef?cios sejam alcan?ados. Este trabalho analisa a gest?o das Alian?as Estrat?gicas a partir de fatores considerados cr?ticos para este processo, englobando suas diferentes fases, quais sejam: forma??o, opera??o e avalia??o. Utilizou-se como estrat?gia de pesquisa o estudo de caso, que permitiu aprofundar o entendimento sobre este processo em alian?as estabelecidas por uma empresa do setor petroqu?mico. Como principais resultados observou-se que a empresa se utiliza de alian?as com clientes, fornecedores e licenciadores de tecnologia no sentido reduzir custos em pesquisa e desenvolvimento, incorporar novas compet?ncias, bem como aperfei?oar e desenvolver novas oportunidades, para a explora??o de solu??es inovadoras no uso de pol?meros. Constatou-se que a gest?o das alian?as ? considerada importante para a empresa, especialmente nas parcerias relacionadas ? inova??o tecnol?gica. Verificou-se que a empresa coloca em pr?tica os fatores cr?ticos extra?dos da revis?o da literatura na gest?o das alian?as estabelecidas. No entanto, notou-se que a forma como s?o conduzidos bem como a import?ncia dispensada a cada um dos fatores, faz com que alguns deles como ger?ncia dedicada e confian?a facilitem a gest?o de alian?as, enquanto que outros, como avalia??o das contribui??es e transfer?ncia de conhecimento dificultem o processo de gest?o de alian?as

Previous issue date: 2011-08-26Esta pesquisa teve como proposta reconstituir e analisar os aspectos econ?micos do cooperativismo vitivin?cola em Caxias do Sul. Para isso, prop?s reunir informa??es sobre a Hist?ria do desenvolvimento econ?mico relacionado ao cultivo da videira e da produ??o de vinhos. Teve-se a finalidade de realizar um estudo de caso na Cooperativa Vitivin?cola Alian?a Ltda., para acompanhar as conjunturas, o crescimento e o desenvolvimento do setor em quest?o, sobretudo na forma de organiza??o do Movimento, agindo como grupo de resist?ncia para as press?es econ?micas e comerciais. Para o alcance dos objetivos, fez-se necess?rio analisar as formas iniciais do processo de coloniza??o italiana no Rio Grande do Sul. Descreveu-se o processo hist?rico da vitivinicultura no Rio Grande do Sul e em Caxias do Sul. Avaliaram-se os fatores que desencadearam o surgimento e o decl?nio do cooperativismo vitivin?cola no Rio Grande do Sul no per?odo de 1911 a 1914 e a contribui??o de Stefano Patern? para o desenvolvimento do primeiro movimento cooperativista. Identificaram-se os acontecimentos econ?micos e inovadores relacionados ao setor vitivin?cola entre os anos de 1914 a 1929 e analisou-se o papel dos agentes para a constru??o do segmento e do novo modelo de cooperativismo vitivin?cola. Por fim, realizou-se um estudo de caso na Cooperativa Vitivin?cola Alian?a Ltda., de Caxias do Sul, enfatizando-se nos 80 anos de exist?ncia o empreendimento empresarial. Fundada em 04 de janeiro de 1931, a Alian?a surgiu com os imigrantes italianos residentes no Travess?o Alian?a, interior de Caxias do Sul. Em 2010 surgiu a Cooperativa Nova Alian?a que uniu a experi?ncia e a solidez de uma Hist?ria de mais de 80 anos de cinco tradicionais cooperativas vitivin?colas da Serra Ga?cha. Assim, reunidas, Alian?a e S?o Victor (de Caxias do Sul), Linha Jacinto (de Farroupilha), Santo Ant?nio e S?o Pedro (de Flores da Cunha) decidiram transformar-se em uma ?nica empresa, congregando pessoas, valores e Hist?ria, para formarem a Cooperativa Vin?cola Nova Alian?a. A fus?o das cinco empresas associou conhecimento, experi?ncia e competitividade para responder ?s demandas sociais, econ?micas, ambientais e de mercado, estabelecendo novas bases para o desenvolvimento da agricultura familiar e do cooperativismo. A Cooperativa busca, pois, oferecer ao mercado produtos diferenciados, elaborados a partir de modernas tecnologias conjugadas com o cuidado artesanal durante todas as etapas de produ??o, tendo como princ?pios norteadores atitude cooperativa, inova??o, qualidade, valoriza??o das pessoas, do meio ambiente e da cultura. A Cooperativa conta com aproximadamente 1.350 hectares de vinhedos em produ??o, que resultam em 35 mil toneladas de uva, processadas em dez unidades industriais localizadas na Serra Ga?cha e em Santana do Livramento. A constru??o da nova sede no Munic?pio de Flores da Cunha, na Serra Ga?cha, prevista para iniciar as suas opera??es na safra de 2013, ser? um novo marco na Hist?ria do cooperativismo vitivin?cola e ir? abrir novos horizontes para a agricultura familiar, para os produtores, para os associados, para os clientes e para os colaboradore
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Institutions are important for economic development and agriculture in specific, so understanding why they form is important. CTAs, farmer cooperatives which tested the butterfat of dairy cows, were brought to the US from Denmark by a Danish immigrant, Helmer Rabild. We hypothesize that Danish and Dutch immigrant communities were important to their formation because of knowledge transfers and a willingness to “stick” with new organizations. Using novel data on these cooperatives combined with micro-census data, we find evidence that counties with higher influxes of Danes– who came between 1880 and 1900 – had a higher chance of forming CTAs. There are positive effects for the Dutch too, albeit imprecise. We also find suggestive evidence that testers were more likely to have Danish surnames – suggesting that Danes transferred knowledge of CTAs
