Automatic Tuning of Compilers Using Machine Learning

By: Amir H. Ashouri,Gianluca Palermo,John Cavazos,Cristina Silvano

This book explores break-through approaches to tackling and mitigating the well-known problems of compiler optimization using design space exploration and machine learning techniques. It demonstrates that not all the optimization passes are suitable for use within an optimization sequence and that, in fact, many of the available passes tend to counteract one another. After providing a comprehensive survey of currently available methodologies, including many experimental comparisons with state-of-the-art compiler frameworks, the book describes new approaches to solving the problem of selecting the best compiler optimizations and the phase-ordering problem, allowing readers to overcome the enormous complexity of choosing the right order of optimizations for each code segment in an application. As such, the book offers a valuable resource for a broad readership, including researchers interested in Computer Architecture, Electronic Design Automation and Machine Learning, as well as computer architects and compiler developers.

Pier Giorgio Frassati

A Hero for Our Times

By: Cristina Siccardi

In this definitive biography, Cristina Siccardi situates the appealing figure of young Pier Giorgio Frassati in early 20th century Turin, Italy. In the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Italy where the memory of Savoy is still alive there are two contrasting forms of enterprise: one of older stamp, attentive to the values of patriotism and integrity; the other tending toward ever more acquisitive forms of capitalism. In this environment Pier Giorgio, the young heir of Senator Alfredo Frassati, founder of the newspaper La Stampa, makes his own choice for the social doctrine of the Catholic Church, seeking not so much to solve general problems but to make Christ and the Church more present to those in need. That was the motivation for his assisting in many charitable works of the St. Vincent Society, his support for the Popular Party, and his development of a spirituality of engaged and diligent action. His devotion to friendship and to sports was extraordinary, with a special love for mountain hiking, which was for him both enjoyable exercise and the contemplation of creation, as well as a symbol of his striving for perfection in virtue. Other important aspects that will passionately engage readers of this book include the story of the famous Frassati family, and the marked contrasts among its members--especially the bond of division/union between father and son. Alfredo Frassati, a man of notable accomplishments, will discover, when his widely beloved son dies, a completely new dimension of the world. There follows a spiritual deepening, year after year, which leaves its traces in several letters to Giovanni Battista Montini, the future Pope Paul VI. This book describes an extraordinary itinerary of holiness, but also a key to understanding the history of Italy in the 20th century. Pope John Paul II said about Pier Giorgio on the day of his Beatification (20 May, 1990): "Faith and charity, the true driving forces of his existence, made him active and diligent in the milieu in which he lived, in his family, in the university and society; they transformed him into a joyful apostle of Christ, a passionate follower of his message and charity. The secret of his apostolic zeal and holiness is found in the ascetical and spiritual journey which he traveled; in prayer, in persevering adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, in his thirst for the Word of God; in the peaceful acceptance of life's difficulties; in chastity lived as a cheerful, uncompromising discipline.

Attention! Roma on the Road

By: Airi Markkanen,Heini Puurunen,Aino Saarinen,Kyösti Roth,Anca Loredana Enache,Miika Tervonen,Susanna Mehtonen,Cristina Raţ,Ari Hirvonen,Kimmo Oksanen,Erkki Tuomioja

Kirja on osa romani-trilogiaa. Tämä ensimmäinen osa (ilmestyi suomeksi 2012) käsittelee Itä-Euroopan romanien tuloa Suomeen ja tutkii EU:n vapaan liikkuvuuden direktiivin ja ihmisoikeuksien toteutumista romanien lähtö- ja tulomaissa. Romanipolitiikan vaikutuksia arvioidaan kansainvälisen ja kansallisen politiikan tasolla sekä suhteessa katutyötä tekevien romanien arkielämään ja maahanmuuton vaikuttimiin. Toinen osa (2020) keskittyy helsinkiläiseen solidaariseen aktivismiin; kolmas osa tulee antamaan äänen muuttajille itselleen. The book is part of the Roma Trilogy. This first volume (published in Finnish in 2012) considers the arrival of Eastern European Roma in Finland and examines the realisation of the EU’s free movement directive and human rights in countries of departure and arrival. The effects of Roma policies are evaluated on the level of international and national policies, as well as in relation to the everyday lives of Roma street workers and the motives behind migration. The second volume (2020) focuses on solidarity activism in Helsinki; the third volume will give voice to the migrants themselves.

Crossing Traditions: Essays on the Reformation and Intellectual History

in Honour of Irena Backus

By: Maria-Cristina Pitassi,Daniela Solfaroli Camillocci

English Irena Backus' scholarship has been characterised by profound historical learning and philological acumen, extraordinary mastery of a wide range of languages, and broad-ranging interests. From the history of historiography to the story of Biblical exegesis and the reception of the Church Fathers, her research on the long sixteenth century stands as a point of reference for both historians of ideas and church historians alike. She also explored late medieval theology before turning her attention to the interplay of religion and philosophy in the seventeenth century, the focus of her late research. This volume assembles contributions from 35 international specialists that reflect the breadth of her interests and both illustrate and extend her path-breaking legacy as a scholar, teacher and colleague. Français La recherche d’Irena Backus témoigne d’une culture historique et philologique étendue, de son impeccable maîtrise des instruments linguistiques et de la multiplicité de ses centres d’intérêt. Ses études sont aujourd’hui une référence essentielle pour les spécialistes de l’histoire intellectuelle, de l’histoire de l’exégèse biblique et de la réception des Pères de l’Eglise pendant le long XVIe siècle. Seiziémiste de formation, elle s’est également aventurée dans d’autres chronologies, en s’intéressant à l’Église de la fin du moyen âge et à la philosophie de ce XVIIe siècle qui l’a de plus en plus passionnée et qui constitue aujourd’hui son centre d’intérêt majeur. Ce recueil célèbre son long et original enseignement et ses grandes qualités de chercheuses et de collègue.

Nondestructive Biomarkers in Vertebrates

By: Cristina Fossi,Claudio Leonzio

Nondestructive Biomarkers in Vertebrates presents an innovative approach for hazard assessment in vertebrates based on nondestructive rather than destructive methods. The book reviews the state of the art and defines the development and validation procedure of this new strategy. Biological materials, such as blood samples, epithelial tissue, eggs, feathers, and feces that can be obtained without stress or damage to the animal are suggested. Certain traditional studies (blood esterases, blood chemistry, mixed function oxidases, porphyrins, DNA damage, and cytological changes) can be performed on these specimens, along with new tests requiring only very small samples. This approach is developed to benefit protected, threatened species whose existence cannot be further jeopardized by the use of destructive methods. This volume will be particularly useful to ecotoxicologists, wildlife protection personnel, environmental consultants, and conservationist organizations.

50 AOS DEL VICENTE CALDERN/ 50 YEARS OF THE VICENTE CALDERN

la historia de una pasin en... rojo y blanco/ the story of a passion in red and w

By: Miguel Ángel Guijarro,Nacho Montero,Cristina Mosquera

El Vicente Calderón cumple 50 años, pero el Atlético de Madrid tiene más de 113 años de historia en los que fue acomodándose en distintas casas que ayudaron a su evolución. 50 años del Vicente Calderón nos sitúa en los campos en los que jugó antes de llegar a la ribera del Manzanares. Conoceremos los proyectos, sueños e ilusiones de los directivos que hicieron grande al Atlético, descubriremos la intrahistoria de la salida del Metropolitano y los obstáculos que hubo para culminar la obra del nuevo estadio. Un trabajo periodístico, riguroso y documentado que contextualiza el porqué de algunas decisiones que, en su momento, no fueron entendidas por los aficionados y desgastaron a personajes importantes en la historia, como Javier Barroso. Descubriremos a Vicente Calderón. Sabremos quién era y cómo llegó a manejar la nave rojiblanca; profundizaremos en su figura, en su personalidad, en su amor por el Atlético de Madrid. Sabremos más del estadio, de sus trasformaciones, de sus instalaciones, de su evolución en el mundo del fútbol, su aportación y todos sus rincones. También hablaremos de pasión y de los momentos históricos vividos en el césped. Recordaremos a los grandes jugadores, los grandes partidos, las grandes victorias y alguna que otra decepción. En definitiva, la vida de un campo contada por los que sudaron allí la camiseta. Pero el Calderón es mucho más que fútbol. Es también un templo de la música. Nos vamos a sumergir en la intrahistoria de los grandes eventos realizados en estos 50 años. Si el Calderón está en el centro del mundo futbolístico, también es un referente musical a nivel mundial. Por él han pasado los más grandes y muchas generaciones de fans han vibrado allí con sus ídolos. El Calderón cumple 50 años. Pasa sin miedo. Todo el que entra sale enamorado.

Spain and the Irish Mission, 1609-1707

By: Cristina Bravo Lozano

Spain and the Irish Mission, 1609-1707 examines Spanish confessional policy in 17th-century Ireland. Cristina Bravo Lozano provides an innovative perspective on Spanish-Irish relations during a crucial period for Early Modern European history. Key historical actors and events are brought to the fore in her account of the missionary networks created around the Irish Catholic exile in the Iberian Peninsula. She presents a comprehensive study of this form of royal patronage, the changes and challenges Irish Catholicism had to face after the peace of London (1604) and the role that Irish missionaries played in preserving its place within the framework of Anglo-Spanish relations.

Statutory Audits in Europe

Latest Reforms and Future Challenges

By: Michael Kend,Giulia Leoni,Cristina Florio,Silvia Gaia

In the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis, corporate collapses, accounting scandals, and concerns around competition and auditor choice, the European Commission (EC) promoted the preparation of various reports on audit policy to support a harmonisation process of European auditing regulation. Consequently, the European Union (EU) Audit Regulation and Directive was implemented from 2016. This book provides a timely picture of the audit sector and how it responds to regulatory and technological challenges. It analyses the impact of EU reforms on audit practices by comparing the UK and Italy, which, representing two very different regulatory and cultural contexts, will offer insight into how the efforts at standardising audit regulation may lead to very different organisational firm responses within Europe. It addresses issues relating to public policy work and the concerns faced by the market for audit and assurance services, in promoting audit quality, better communication about the role of the auditor, capital market stability and confidence, and auditor independence. Moreover, it highlights what the future of auditing might look like in the EU particularly now that the UK has left, and how meeting public expectations will continue to be a struggle for the accounting profession given the many problems ahead. The book encourages a deeper awareness of the challenges faced by those that monitor and certify the financial statements of the world’s largest public companies and contributes to the general understanding of this controversial industry. It will serve as a useful guide to the recent EU audit reforms, not only for academics, and research students but also to regulators, policymakers, standard setters, industry professionals, and business executives worldwide.

Transnational Projects, Postcolonial Predicaments and Deterritorialized Nation-States

By: Linda Basch,Nina Glick Schiller,Cristina Szanton Blanc

Nations Unbound is a pioneering study of an increasing trend in migration-transnationalism. Immigrants are no longer rooted in one location. By building transnational social networks, economic alliances and political ideologies, they are able to cross the geographic and cultural boundaries of both their countries of origin and of settlement. Through ethnographic studies of immigrant populations, the authors demonstrate that transnationalism is something other than expanded nationalism. By placing immigrants in a limbo between settler and visitor, transnationalism challenges the concepts of citizenship and of nationhood itself.

Multi-objective Design Space Exploration of Multiprocessor SoC Architectures

The MULTICUBE Approach

By: Cristina Silvano,William Fornaciari,Eugenio Villar

This book serves as a reference for researchers and designers in Embedded Systems who need to explore design alternatives. It provides a design space exploration methodology for the analysis of system characteristics and the selection of the most appropriate architectural solution to satisfy requirements in terms of performance, power consumption, number of required resources, etc. Coverage focuses on the design of complex multimedia applications, where the choice of the optimal design alternative in terms of application/architecture pair is too complex to be pursued through a full search comparison, especially because of the multi-objective nature of the designer’s goal, the simulation time required and the number of parameters of the multi-core architecture to be optimized concurrently.
