Jesus of the Future

The Story of Jesus Christ Birth, Life, Death Resurrection and Promise of Return as It Happens in the Future

By: Alexander C. Parker

Jesus of the Future is a novel presenting a totally different option for stories about God and Jesus; it takes you through a fictional creation and several well know Bible stories. Each provides a different view from what you find in the Holy Bible, but with a somewhat same conclusion; there is an extensive disclaimer that acknowledges the Holy Bible as true and that no part of the novel is to take the place of the actual Word of God, as is in the Holy Bible. There is an extraterrestrial portion, in which a human man and a visitor from another world become friends; from this comes the ability to create the first and totally genetically artificial life-form, which becomes Jesus. Another section describes how Jesus is born, is raised, lives and dies; it offers a continuous message of salvation. Again it presents a totally different way for Jesus to have lived; even so, He does die for the sins of mankind by crucifixion, and the final part tells of the return and promise of everlasting life. This work of fiction provides direct, firm, clear direction for becoming a born-again Christian. There is a very clear message on the promised return of Jesus Christ. This is the first of a planned series. The second volume will be titled The Book of Short Stories and will tell how God worked in the lives of different people.

Book of Short Stories

Different Stories of Born Again Christians and the Leading of the Holy Spirit; Stories of God Touching Lives of People

By: Alexander C. Parker

Book of Short Stories presents a collection of short stories that have been written over a twenty-five-year period. Some were used as closing thoughts given to the boys of several Boy Scout troops at the end of meetings, when author Alexander C. Parker served as both an assistant scoutmaster and as scoutmaster. These stories show how God can and does work in the lives of people through the leading of the Holy Spirit and how it is possible to find new direction in your life by letting God and the Holy Spirit speak to you. It is hoped that by reading each story and letting the theme of that story remain with you, that it will help in providing a new and stronger positive outlook and make you the reader more confident in your walk of life. There is a very clear message on Salvation and several opportunities to accept Jesus Christ as your Personal Lord and Savior. Parker is also the author of Jesus of the Future; both books seek to lead readers to understand God more clearly.

Storage Systems

Organization, Performance, Coding, Reliability, and Their Data Processing

By: Alexander Thomasian

Storage Systems: Organization, Performance, Coding, Reliability and Their Data Processing was motivated by the 1988 Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks proposal to replace large form factor mainframe disks with an array of commodity disks. Disk loads are balanced by striping data into strips—with one strip per disk— and storage reliability is enhanced via replication or erasure coding, which at best dedicates k strips per stripe to tolerate k disk failures. Flash memories have resulted in a paradigm shift with Solid State Drives (SSDs) replacing Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) for high performance applications. RAID and Flash have resulted in the emergence of new storage companies, namely EMC, NetApp, SanDisk, and Purestorage, and a multibillion-dollar storage market. Key new conferences and publications are reviewed in this book.The goal of the book is to expose students, researchers, and IT professionals to the more important developments in storage systems, while covering the evolution of storage technologies, traditional and novel databases, and novel sources of data. We describe several prototypes: FAWN at CMU, RAMCloud at Stanford, and Lightstore at MIT; Oracle's Exadata, AWS' Aurora, Alibaba's PolarDB, Fungible Data Center; and author's paper designs for cloud storage, namely heterogeneous disk arrays and hierarchical RAID. - Surveys storage technologies and lists sources of data: measurements, text, audio, images, and video - Familiarizes with paradigms to improve performance: caching, prefetching, log-structured file systems, and merge-trees (LSMs) - Describes RAID organizations and analyzes their performance and reliability - Conserves storage via data compression, deduplication, compaction, and secures data via encryption - Specifies implications of storage technologies on performance and power consumption - Exemplifies database parallelism for big data, analytics, deep learning via multicore CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs, e.g., Google's Tensor Processing Units
