Modeling The Impact Of The Covid-19 Pandemic On Speeding At Rural Roadway Facilities In Maine Using Short-Term Speed And Traffic Count Data., Amirhossein Shahlaeegilan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant change in traffic operations and safety. For instance, various U.S. states reported an increase in the rate of fatal and severe injury crashes over this duration. In April and May 2020, the comprehensive stay-at-home orders were issued across the country, including in Maine. These orders resulted in drastic reductions in traffic volume,switching working policies of noticeable number of corporations and educational administrations like universities to the remote working, closure of many organizations during the lockdown period, and people avoidance to public places to suppress the possible exposure to the virus were among the most …


Evaluating Tlb (Translation Lookaside Buffer) Performance Overhead For Nvm (Non-Volatile Memory) Hybrid System, Xiang Guo Dec 2020

Evaluating Tlb (Translation Lookaside Buffer) Performance Overhead For Nvm (Non-Volatile Memory) Hybrid System, Xiang Guo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As the non-volatile memory (NVM) technology offers near-DRAM performance and near-disk capacity, NVM has emerged as a new storage class. Conventional file systems, designed for hard disk drives or solid-state drives, need to be re-examined or even re-designed for NVM storage. For example, new file systems such as NOVA, HMFS, HMVFS and Ext4-DAX, have been developed and implemented to fully leverage NVM’s characteristics, such as fast fine-grained access. This thesis research uses a variety of I/O workloads to evaluate the performance overhead of the TLB (translation lookaside buffer) in various file systems on emulated NVM storage systems, in which NVM …


Mobile Map Browsers: Anticipated User Interaction For Data Pre-Fetching, Benjamin T. Weber Dec 2010

Mobile Map Browsers: Anticipated User Interaction For Data Pre-Fetching, Benjamin T. Weber

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

When browsing a graphical display of geospatial data on mobile devices, users typically change the displayed maps by panning, zooming in and out, or rotating the device. Limited storage space on mobile devices and slow wireless communications, however, impede the performance of these operations. To overcome the bottleneck that all map data to be displayed on the mobile device need to be downloaded on demand, this thesis investigates how anticipated user interactions affect intelligent pre-fetching so that an on-demand download session is extended incrementally. User interaction is defined as a set of map operations that each have corresponding effects on …
