NE of the most elusive and perplexing, hazy and confusing of the parts of theoretical physics is that which bears the name of "statistical mechanics".* On the principle that a tree is to be judged
We consider the problem of distributing a file in a network of storage nodes whose storage budget is limited but at least equals the size file.
Three exhaust modes of a 4ESS(TM) switch have been identified: Real time processing capability, number of trunk terminations available on the switch and call store memory available.
Unequal Erasure Protection (UEP) is an attractive approach to protect data flows that contain information of different priority levels.
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of memory effects in vibration-induced compaction of granular materials.
In embedded network applications, typically a very large part of the area cost is due to memory units. Also the power for such applications is heavily dominated by the storage and transfers.
We study the way in which the properties of associative memory networks are changed when the interactions between the units are not symmetrical.
The properties of associative memory networks with asymmetric interactions between the units are investigated for a class of analog networks subject to thermal noise (Langevin models).
The physics of a new GaAs/AlGaAs floating-gate memory device is investigated.
The operation of the first floating-gate memory device in the AlGaAs/GaAs material system is reported and its applicability to dynamic and permanent memories is discussed.
