Description: Accepting his 2005 TED Prize, photographer Edward Burtynsky makes a wish: that his images -- stunning landscapes that document humanity's impact on the world -- help persuade millions to join a global conversation on sustainability. Burtynsky presents a riveting slideshow of his photographs, which show vividly how industrial development is altering the Earth's natural landscape. From mountains of tires to rivers of bright orange waste from a nickel mine, his images are simultaneously beautiful & horrifying.
Abstract: As the gap between processor and memory speeds increases, cache performance becomes more critical to overall system performance. Multi-lateral 1 cache designs such as the Assist, Victim, and NTS cache have been shown to perform as well as or better t...

Abstract: This dissertation analyzes a way to improve cache performance via active management of a target cache space. As microprocessor speeds continue to grow faster than memory subsystem speeds, minimizing the average data access time grows in importance. A...
Abstract: As the gap between processor and memory speeds increases, cache performance becomes more critical to overall system performance. To address this, processor designers typically design for the largest possible caches that can still remain on the ever g...

Abstract: this paper, we will plot using logarithmic scales, usually multiplying by 1-ae. The curves are discontinuous because N is an integer function, and have negative slopes for small ae because of the factor 1-ae. Figure 5 shows that although the buffer s...
