Energy-Efficient High Performance Computing

Measurement and Tuning

By: James H. Laros III,Kevin Pedretti,Suzanne M. Kelly,Wei Shu,Kurt Ferreira,John Van Dyke,Courtenay Vaughan

In this work, the unique power measurement capabilities of the Cray XT architecture were exploited to gain an understanding of power and energy use, and the effects of tuning both CPU and network bandwidth. Modifications were made to deterministically halt cores when idle. Additionally, capabilities were added to alter operating P-state. At the application level, an understanding of the power requirements of a range of important DOE/NNSA production scientific computing applications running at large scale is gained by simultaneously collecting current and voltage measurements on the hosting nodes. The effects of both CPU and network bandwidth tuning are examined, and energy savings opportunities without impact on run-time performance are demonstrated. This research suggests that next-generation large-scale platforms should not only approach CPU frequency scaling differently, but could also benefit from the capability to tune other platform components to achieve more energy-efficient performance.

Hepatic Encephalopathy: An Update, An Issue of Clinics in Liver Disease

By: Ravi Prakash,Kevin Mullen

A very hot topic at the 2010 AASLD meeting, hepatic encephalopathy is being brought to the Clinics in Liver Disease for the very first time by top experts, Dr. Mullen and Dr. Prakash. Authors have written articles that fully discuss the clinical aspects of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Articles presented include History, Nomenclature and Classification; Theories involved in the pathogenesis of HE; Clinical Assessment and utility of clinical scales for semi-quantification of Overt HE; Assessment of Minimal HE( with emphasis on computerized psychometric tests); Brain Imaging and HE; Management of Overt HE; Management of Minimal HE; Nutritional Interventions for HE; TIPS and HE; Liver Transplantation and Reversibility of HE; Minimal HE and Driving; and HE and Quality of Life.

Cincinnati Cemeteries

The Queen City Underground

By: Kevin Grace,Tom White

Cincinnati Cemeteries is not only a history of graveyards and their occupants. It also investigates the culture of death and dying in Cincinnati: from the infamous Pearl Bryan murder and the 19th-century cholera epidemics, to the body snatchers who stole the corpse of Benjamin Harrison's father and the notorious "resurrection men." In a city teeming with immigrants and transients these "sack 'em up" grave robbers had ample opportunities to supply cadavers to Cincinnati's medical schools. And if fresh graves weren't available, they lurked for victims in the saloons and the dark alleys of Vine Street and the West End.

Crazy Busy

A (Mercifully) Short Book about a (Really) Big Problem

By: Kevin DeYoung

Winner of the 2014 Christian Book of the Year Award "I'M TOO BUSY!" We've all heard it. We've all said it. All too often, busyness gets the best of us. Just one look at our jam-packed schedules tells us how hard it can be to strike a well-reasoned balance between doing nothing and doing it all. That's why award-winning author and pastor Kevin DeYoung addresses the busyness problem head on in his newest book, Crazy Busy — and not with the typical arsenal of time management tips, but rather with the biblical tools we need to get to the source of the issue and pull the problem out by the roots. Highly practical and super short, Crazy Busy will help you put an end to "busyness as usual.

Crossing Over

By: Kevin Menezes

For as long as I can remember, I had one excuse for all conscious sin. If I felt guilty about anything I had done I'd justify myself saying, "Well, if I knew for certain that God really existed, I wouldn't do that." I wanted to be sure God existed before getting my act together because it would be really tragic otherwise. Imagine holding back from all the pleasures of life because you had your eyes fixed on some "grand reward" only to later find out God was a hoax. So I told God, "Prove to me that You exist and I won't do any of that ever again." Then, one day, God showed up. He took me by the hand, led me out of the wilderness, and opened my heart and mind to the spectacular. This book captures the lessons God taught me along the way. Life is a mirage. We only see and feel what we want to. But we owe it to ourselves to at least once in our lifetime see things as they really are and explore what lies beyond the physical realm. This book will help you do just that.
