Enabling memory access isolation in real-time cloud systems using Intel's detection/regulation capabilities
No full textThe increasing interest in adopting cloud technologies for Industry 4.0 and mixed-criticality environments is paving the way for compelling new opportunities and challenges. However, cloud deployments use multicore processors that introduce interference between co-executing applications on different cores due to contention in shared resources, such as the memory subsystem. Such interference can cause critical applications to miss their deadlines. To enable the co-execution of critical and non-critical applications on the same multicore processor, we propose an approach that guarantees memory access time isolation for critical cores, while not jeopardizing the memory bandwidth of the non-critical ones. We prove the viability of our approach using Intel's resource director technology for memory access detection and regulation. Experiments show that queue occupancy is an excellent metric to estimate the number of interfering cores co-accessing the memory. We also assess the indirect memory bandwidth limitation achievable by applying Intel's Memory Bandwidth Allocation technology
A Framework for Composing Real-Time Schedulers
No full textIn this paper, we present a framework for integrating real-time components in the same system, where each component has its own scheduling algorithm. There are two main reasons for this research: to allow maximum exibility in the design of systems with different real-time activities and to reuse already existing applications without changing their scheduling policy. After defining the concept of component in our context, we present our methodology that is based on a two-level hierarchical scheduling paradigm. At the global level, a scheduler selects which component must be executed at each instant; the selected component then chooses which task has to be scheduled depending on its own scheduling strategy
Static scheduling of pipelined periodic tasks in distributed real-time systems
No full textMany distributed real time applications involve periodic activities with end to end timing constraints that are larger than the periods. That is, a new instance of a periodic activity will come into existence before the previous instance has been completed. Also, such activities typically involve communicating modules in a distributed system where some modules may be replicated for resilience. For such activities, pipelined execution allows us to meet the various resource and timing constraints imposed on them. We discuss an approach to dealing with the pipelined execution of a set of periodic activities that have the above characteristics. It can be called a meta algorithm since it works in conjunction with another scheduling algorithm-one that creases the actual schedules. The idea is to exploit the existence of many such scheduling algorithms, which, however typically work with activities whose deadlines are equal to or less than their periods. Our meta algorithm invokes such a scheduling algorithm, perhaps multiple times, to generate a pipelined execution for the tasks. The effectiveness of the approach is shown via simulation studies

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

The Right to Strike under the United States Constitution: Theory, Practice, and Possible Implications for Canada
No full textAnswering critics of the Canadian Supreme Court's judgment in B.C. Health, the author argues that the Court laid the foundation for a principled and durable doctrine protecting constitutional labour rights, one that goes directly to the heart of the matter — the inequality of workers’ power in the employment relation. In the author’s view, two paths could lead from B.C. Health to the recognition of Charter protec- tion for a right to strike: one that treats the right as an accessory to col- lective bargaining, and one that upholds the right directly on the basis of the Charter values of equality and participation. The author supports the latter approach, contending that constitutional rights should be defined in relation to fundamental values, in a way that is not contingent on time-bound or fact-sensitive assessments about the role of strikes within a particular collective bargaining regime. Although a Charter right to strike may involve the courts in difficult choices about when to defer to legislative policy decisions, and courts may lack the institutional capac- ity to deal effectively with labour law issues, the author points out that judges can look to ILO standards for expert guidance. Noting that the U.S. experience in this area might be of considerable use to Canadians, the author concludes by providing an overview of American case law concerning a constitutional right to strike.Peer reviewe
G-Rank: Unsupervised Continuous Learn-to-Rank for Edge Devices in a P2P Network
No full textRanking algorithms in traditional search engines are powered by enormous training data sets that are meticulously engineered and curated by a centralized entity. Decentralized peer-to-peer (p2p) networks such as torrenting applications and Web3 protocols deliberately eschew centralized databases and computational architectures when designing services and features. As such, robust search-and-rank algorithms designed for such domains must be engineered specifically for decentralized networks, and must be lightweight enough to operate on consumer-grade personal devices such as a smartphone or laptop computer. We introduce G-Rank, an unsupervised ranking algorithm designed exclusively for decentralized networks. We demonstrate that accurate, relevant ranking results can be achieved in fully decentralized networks without any centralized data aggregation, feature engineering, or model training. Furthermore, we show that such results are obtainable with minimal data preprocessing and computational overhead, and can still return highly relevant results even when a user’s device is disconnected from the network. G-Rank is highly modular in design, is not limited to categorical data, and can be implemented in a variety of domains with minimal modification. The results herein show that unsupervised ranking models designed for decentralized p2p networks are not only viable, but worthy of further research.https://github.com/awrgold/G-RankComputer Scienc
