    摘要: A client-server architecture is used in a multicore computer system to realize a single-core-equivalent (SCE) view. In the system, plural stacks, each having a core and a local cache subsystem coupled thereto, are divided into a client stack for running client threads, and server stacks each for running server threads. A shared cache having shared cache blocks, each coupled to the client stack and to one or more server stacks, is also used. The core of an individual server stack is configured such that computing resources utilizable in executing the server thread(s) are confined to the individual server stack and the shared cache block coupled thereto, isolating an inter-core interference caused by the server thread(s) to the client thread(s) to within the individual server stack, the shared cache block coupled thereto, any server stack coupled to this shared cache block, and the client stack to thereby realize the SCE view.

    摘要: In an indoor environment on fire, automatic deployment of sensors disposed on, beneath or over the floor to look upward the ceiling to observe a body of smoke and flame risen near the ceiling allows important information regarding states and dynamics of the body of smoke and flame to be gathered at an early stage of fire (e.g. before arrival of firefighters). By distributing the sensors over the indoor environment, the states and dynamics of the body of smoke and flame are monitored holistically (i.e. as a whole) even at the early stage of fire. Such information is useful to predict development of the fire. In one implementation, a sensor is held in an infrastructure sensor holder mounted on the ceiling during normal time. Upon detecting occurrence of fire, the sensor drops from the holder to land on the floor and orients a sensing direction vertically upward to perform monitoring.
