This paper reports on the performance of five parallel algorithms for simulating a fully associative cache operating under the LRU (Least-Recently-Used) replacement policy. Three of the algorithms are SIMD, and are implemented on the MasPar MP-2 architecture. Two other algorithms are parallelizations of an efficient serial algorithm on the Intel Paragon. One SIMD algorithm is quite simple, but its cost is linear in the cache size. The two other SIMD SIMD algorithms compute all stack distances; the second SIMD algorithm is completely general, whereas the third SIMD algorithm presumes and takes advantage of bounds on the range of reference tags. Both MIMD algorithm implemented on the Paragon are general, and compute all stack distances; they differ in one step that may affect their respective scalability. We assess the strengths and weaknesses of these algorithms as a function of problem size and characteristics, and compare their performance on traces derived from execution of three SPEC benchmark programs.

One SIMD algorithm is quite simple, but its cost is linear in the cache size. The two other SIMD algorithm are more complex, but have costs that are independent on the cache size. Both the second and third SIMD algorithms compute all stack distances; the second SIMD algorithm is completely general, whereas the third SIMD algorithm presumes and takes advantage of bounds on the range of reference tags.

1Warlord of Kor

By Terry Carr

Terry Carr never really shone as a writer, though he did write some remarkably thoughtful stories. However, his talents as an editor and anthologist were important and undeniable, and he brought many good writers and authors into sf and fantasy. His first couple of novels, of which Warlord of Kor was one, did not have their copyright renewed by Mr. Carr on purpose, one understands. So enjoy the blood and thunder, but don't think it's representative of his work! (Summary by suburbanbanshee)

6Warlord of Kor (version 2)

By Terry Carr

GOD, MACHINE--OR LISTENING POST FOR OUTSIDERS?<br /><br /> Horng sat opposite the tiny, fragile creature who held a microphone, its wires attached to an interpreting machine. He blinked his huge eyes slowly, his stiff mouth fumblingly forming words of a language his race had not used for thirty thousand years.<br /> "Kor was ... is ... God ... Knowledge." He had tried to convey this to the small creatures who had invaded his world, but they did not heed. Their ill-equipped brains were trying futilely to comprehend the ancient race memory of his people.<br /> Now they would attempt further to discover the forbidden directives of Kor. Horng remembered, somewhere far back in the fossil layers of his thoughts, a warning. They must be stopped! If he had to, he would stamp out these creatures who were called "humans." - Summary by Gutenberg text

The main purpose of this book is to show the historical relations of the new principle to the old philosophical problems and to the classical theories of space and time. - Summary by Adapted from the Preface

Since the publication of this book, a little more than a year ago, the interest in Einstein and the principle of relativity has very greatly increased. There are now a large number of popular expositions, and the theory itself has undergone some notable advances in its philosophical, mathematical and physical application. In pure philosophy Lord Haldane's Reign of Relativity has applied it to the direct interpretation of the theory of knowledge. In mathematical physics the important work of Hermann Weyl, Space-Time-Matter, is an advance even on Einstein, and applies the principle not only to the geometry of masses, but to that of intermolecular movements, and to electro-magnetic phenomena generally, thus making it embrace the physical world in its entirety. <br><br> The main purpose of this book is to show the historical relations of the new principle to the old philosophical problems and to the classical theories of space and time. I have, with the exception of a few important emendations, left the historical chapters unaltered, but I have added a new chapter on "Einstein's Theory" in order to show more clearly than the original work did the nature of the revolution which it effects in scientific method and in the concept of physical reality. - Summary by Preface

9Problem of Truth

By Herbert Wildon Carr

A problem of philosophy is completely different from a problem of science. In science we accept our subject-matter as it is presented in unanalysed experience; in philosophy we examine the first principles and ultimate questions that concern conscious experience itself. The problem of truth is a problem of philosophy. It is not a problem of merely historical interest, but a present problem—a living controversy, the issue of which is undecided. Its present interest may be said to centre round the doctrine of pragmatism, which some fifteen years ago began to challenge the generally accepted principles of philosophy. In expounding this problem of truth, my main purpose has been to make clear to the reader the nature of a problem of philosophy and to disclose the secret of its interest. My book presumes no previous study of philosophy nor special knowledge of its problems. The theories that I have shown in conflict on this question are, each of them, held by some of the leaders of philosophy. In presenting them, therefore, I have tried to let the full dialectical force of the argument appear. I have indicated my own view, that the direction in which the solution lies is in the new conception of life and the theory of knowledge given to us in the philosophy of Bergson. If I am right, the solution is not, like pragmatism, a doctrine of the nature of truth, but a theory of knowledge in which the dilemma in regard to truth does not arise. But, as always in philosophy, the solution of one problem is the emergence of another. There is no finality. (Preface)

Not your usual Pinero play. Gilbert and Sullivan had stopped collaborating, and so Pinero - at the height of his very successful career - and a lyricist named Comyns Carr were teamed up with Sullivan to prepare this "romantic musical drama in three acts". It is sorta the Faust story with the Devil, a magic stone that enhances the appearance of its wearer, and all the peoples of a medieval village and castle. Sorry to say, we are not including Sullivan's music in this release. - Summary by ToddHW <BR><BR>Cast list:<BR> Philip, Lord of Mirlemont: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10789">Tomas Peter</a><br> Guntran of Beaugrant: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/7170">Alan Mapstone</a><br> Simon Limal, a Weaver: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8011">Greg Giordano</a><br> Nicholas Dircks, Burgomaster of Mirlemont: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/13577">Adrian Stephens</a><br> A Seneschal: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17576">Beeswaxcandle</a><br> A Lad of the Town: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17752">redrun</a><br> Baldwyn of Ath: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10542">David Purdy</a><br> The Lord of Sirault: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10801">Jim Locke</a><br> The Lord of St. Sauveur: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11927">lorda</a><br> The Lord of Velaines: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17662">Inkell</a><br> The Devil: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">ToddHW</a><br> Laine, the weaver's daughter: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/13140">Jenn Broda</a><br> Joan, the weaver's wife: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/18315">Kendra</a><br> Jacqueline: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10179">Sonia</a><br> Loyse, from St. Denis: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/18140">valroth</a><br> Isabeau, from Florennes: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17662">Inkell</a><br> Barbe, from Bovigny: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/18543">Agnes Robert Behr</a><br> A Shrewish Girl: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11084">Devorah Allen</a><br> A Matron: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/16209">Christine Rottger</a><br> Saida: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/16764">dc</a><br> Competitor's Friends: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/18628">Addison Cooper</a><br> Stage Directions: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8425">Larry Wilson</a><br> Editing: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">ToddHW</a><br>
