  2. 1. Understanding Task Parallelism : Providing insight into scheduling, memory, and performance for CPUs and Graphics

    Author : Germán Ceballos; David Black-Schaffer; Erik Hagersten; Samuel Thibault; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Task-based programming; Task Scheduling; Analytical Cache Model; Scheduling; Runtime Systems; Computer Graphics rendering ; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Maximizing the performance of computer systems while making them more energy efficient is vital for future developments in engineering, medicine, entertainment, etc. However, the increasing complexity of software, hardware, and their interactions makes this task difficult. READ MORE

  4. 2. Complex Task Allocation for Delegation : From Theory to Practice

    Author : David Landén; Patrick Doherty; Silvia Coradeschi; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Multi-agent systems; task allocation; distributed constraint satisfaction; delegation; UAV; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The problem of determining who should do what given a set of tasks and a set of agents is called the task allocation problem. The problem occurs in many multi-agent system applications where a workload of tasks should be shared by a number of agents. READ MORE

  5. 3. Strategies in the rat gambling task : Individual differences in decision-making and associations to behavior, neurobiology and human strategies

    Author : Nikita Tjernström; Erika Roman; Barry Everitt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Behavior; copulatory test; decision-making; ethanol; gambling disorder; impulsivity; individual differences; Iowa gambling task; MALDI-MSI; multivariate concentric square field; neurobiology; novel cage; opioid antagonist; rat gambling task; resting-state fMRI; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    Abstract : Gambling disorder (GD) is a behavioral addiction characterized by persistent and recurrent gambling behavior that disrupts personal, social or professional life. Studies have revealed that GD shares many features with alcohol and substance use disorders, but little is known about potential unique features in GD and to what extent characteristics are shared.

  6. 4. Artefactual Intelligence: The Development and Use of Cognitively Congenial Artefacts

    Author : David de Léon; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; pervasive computing; affective computing; persuasive computing; Psychology; Psykologi; computer-mediated extrospection; precommitment; self-control; situated cognition; distributed motivation; cognitive ethnography; distributed cognition; cognitive biographies; redesign; task–artefact cycle; artefact evolution; artefact design; task structure; cognitive task; cognitive congeniality; artefactual intelligence; cognitive artefacts; task environment; tools; Cognition; artefacts; ubiquitous computing;

    Abstract : How can tools help structure tasks to make them cognitively easier to perform? How do artefacts, and our strategies for using them, develop over time in cognitively beneficial ways? These are two of the main questions that are explored in the five papers collected in this thesis. The first paper details an ethnographic study conducted on people cooking in their homes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mapping Concurrent Applications to Multiprocessor Systems with Multithreaded Processors and Network on Chip-Based Interconnections

    Author : Ruxandra Pop; Petru Eles; Shashi Kumar; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Network on Chip; Multiprocessor Embedded Systems; Task Mapping; Task Scheduling; Multithreading; Simultaneous Multithreading; Response Time Estimation; Genetic Algorithms; List Scheduling; Soft Deadline; Task Graphs; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Network on Chip (NoC) architectures provide scalable platforms for designing Systems on Chip (SoC) with large number of cores. Developing products and applications using an NoC architecture offers many challenges and opportunities. A tool which can map an application or a set of applications to a given NoC architecture will be essential. READ MORE
