Journal ArticleDOI
The measured performance of personal computer operating systems
J. Bradley Chen,Yasuhiro Endo,Kee Chan,David Mazières,Antonio Dias,Margo Seltzer,Michael D. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: Overall, system functionality can be accessed most efficiently in NetBSD; this is attributed to its monolithic structure and to the absence of the complications created by hardware backward-compatibility requirements in the other systems.
Patent
Computer method and apparatus for securely managing data objects in a distributed context
Norbert Leser,Fajen Kyne,Robert Morgan,Christopher B. Barclay,Edward J. Gaudet,James Schoonmaker,Arnold S. Epstein,Michael D. Smith +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method and apparatus for maintaining and managing control over data objects authored, accessed, and altered by users in dynamic, distributed, and collaborative contexts.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Towards a software approach to mitigate voltage emergencies
TL;DR: This paper investigates the potential of a very simple dynamic scheme to appreciably reduce the number of run-time voltage emergencies and can map many of the voltage emergencies in the execution of the SPEC benchmarks on an aggressive superscalar design to a few static loops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of a 2016 mission concept: The search for trace gases in the atmosphere of Mars
Richard W. Zurek,Augustin Chicarro,Mark Allen,Jean-Loup Bertaux,R. Todd Clancy,Frank Daerden,Vittorio Formisano,James B. Garvin,Gerhard Neukum,Michael D. Smith +9 more
TL;DR: Zurek et al. as mentioned in this paper reported that the presence of methane suggests ongoing exchange between the subsurface and the atmosphere of potentially biogenic trace gases, while the spatial and temporal variations cannot be accounted for with current knowledge of martian photochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Description of a mechanistic approach to pain management in advanced cancer. Preliminary report
Michael Ashby,Beverley G. Fleming,Mary Brooksbank,Bruce Rounsefell,William B. Runciman,Kate Jackson,Nell Muirden,Michael D. Smith +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the proposed mechanistic approach to advanced cancer pain management is feasible, and prospective assessment and validation of the response of these proposed mechanism categories to specific drug classes is now underway.
