Paechter, B. (1994, April). Optimising a Presentation Timetable Using Evolutionary Algorithms. Presented at AISB EC: AISB Workshop on Evolutionary Computing, Leeds

This paper describes a solution to the problem of scheduling student presentations which uses evolutionary algorithms. The solution uses a permutation based approach with each candidate schedule being coded for by a genotype containing six chromosome...

DAIS: An Object-Addressed Processor Cache (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Russell, G., Shaw, P., & Cockshott, W. P. (1994, September). DAIS: An Object-Addressed Processor Cache. Presented at Sixth International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems, Tarascon, Provence, France

DAIS is a proposed processor incorporating hardware-based object addressing. By providing only the very minimum of support for objects, it allows efficient access via a novel caching system. Object addressing is supported at the instruction level, wi... Read More about DAIS: An Object-Addressed Processor Cache.

Dynamic Allocation of Tasks in occam3 (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., & Nixon, P. (1994, September). Dynamic Allocation of Tasks in occam3. Presented at World Transputer Congress 1994, Villa Erba, Cernobbio, Lake Como, Italy

In many application environments there is a need to able to allocate resources dynamically. The occam programming language has no concept of such dynamic allocation. This paper shows how dynamic allocation can be incorporated into occam without sacri... Read More about Dynamic Allocation of Tasks in occam3.

Using a persistent system to construct a customised interface to an ecological db. (1993)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., Fraser, C., & Kennedy, J. (1992, July). Using a persistent system to construct a customised interface to an ecological db. Presented at 1st International workshop on Interfaces to Database

New applications of information technology have increasingly sophisticated user interface requirements. Such interfaces are sometimes highly application specific and therefore require to be customised to the given application area. Technology is requ...

Viewing objects. (1993)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1993, July). Viewing objects. Presented at 11th British National Conference on Database System, Keele, UK

This paper examines the incorporation of database views into an object oriented conceptual model. An approach is presented where views are themselves objects, instances of view classes. These view objects provide new ways of interacting with preexist... Read More about Viewing objects..

Memory resident databases: reliability, compression and performance. (1993)
Report
Cockshott, W. P., Cowie, A., Russell, G., & McGregor, D. (1993). Memory resident databases: reliability, compression and performance

The paper argues that recent developments in non-volatile solid-state store allow a new implementation paradigm for databases. This involves replacing slow rotating storage with all-semiconductor data stores. A mechanism is presented to achieve high...

A survey of architectures for memory resident databases. (1993)
Report
Russell, G., & Cockshott, W. P. (1993). A survey of architectures for memory resident databases

Persistent object oriented architectures have been researched for many years, deriving initially from the Manchester University Atlas machine. In reality however, few actual implementations of persistent architectures exist. In the first half of this... Read More about A survey of architectures for memory resident databases..

An object-based processor cache. (1993)
Report
Russell, G., & Shaw, P. (1993). An object-based processor cache

In the past, many persistent object-oriented architecture designs have been based on traditional processor technologies. Such architectures invariantly attempt to insert an object-level abstraction mechanism over the traditional processorÕs virtual a... Read More about An object-based processor cache..

A stack-based register set. (1993)
Report
Russell, G., & Shaw, P. (1993). A stack-based register set

Register windowing has become a common sight in high speed processors, reducing the memory traffic required to preserve register contents over sub-routine invocations. However, approaches to register windowing have changed little since their introduc... Read More about A stack-based register set..

Journal Article
Russell, G., & Shaw, P. (1993). Shifting register windows. IEEE Micro, 13, 28-35. https://doi.org/10.1109/40.229712

Shifting register windows is a new register windowing method that attempts to overcome some of the difficulties of traditional fixed- and variable-sized schemes. Using fewer register elements that a seven-window Sparc organization, shifting register... Read More about Shifting register windows..
