Varying execution discipline to increase performance

Abstract

Supercomputers i also define a major frontier of computing technology. The familiar constraints of cost, physical size, and power consumption are put aside in favor of performance .... Future i'i gains in speed will require new architectures, such as systolic arrays, hypercubes, datai flow machines, and other large networks of processing elements. "-Peter J. Denning and George B.

The Economic Status of Areas Surrounding Major U.S. Container Ports: Evidence and Policy Issues

“…Thus, according to Campbell, "ports have traditionally been centers of economic and cultural activities in cities, if not the raison d'etre of the city's initial development." 1 However, with recent advances in transportation technology, the role of ports in local economic development has changed. Containerization has made the process of goods movement much more capital intensive, thus decreasing the local employment benefits of having a port.…”
