A 4-MB on-chip L2 cache for a 90-nm 1.6-GHz 64-bit microprocessor

A 4-MB L2 data cache was implemented for a 64-bit 1.6-GHz SPARC(r) RISC microprocessor. Static sense amplifiers were used in the SRAM arrays and for global data repeaters, resulting in robust and flexible timing operation. Elimination of the global clock grid over the SRAM array saves power, enabled by combining the clock information with array select signals. Redundancy was implemented flexibly, with shift circuits outside the main data array for area efficiency. The chip integrates 315 million transistors and uses an 8-metal-layer 90-nm CMOS process.     

Investigation of texture effect on visual colour difference evaluation

The texture effect on visual colour difference evaluation was investigated in this study. Five colour centers were selected and textured colour pairs were generated using scanned textile woven fabrics and colour‐mapping technique. The textured and solid colour pairs were then displayed on a characterized cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor for colour difference evaluation. The colour difference values for the pairs with texture patterns are equal to 5.0 CIELAB units in lightness direction. The texture level was represented by the half‐width of histogram, which is called texture strength in this study. High correlation was found between texture strength and visual colour difference for textured colour pairs, which indicates that an increasing of 10 units of texture strength in luminance would cause a decreasing of 0.25 units visual difference for the five colour centers. The ratio of visual difference between textured and solid colour pairs also indicates a high parametric effect of texture. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

快乐女人的无“炎”夏日

盛夏时节，女人们裙摆飞扬，显得更加妩媚动人。然而，持续的高温湿热，妇科炎症也会乘虚而入。专家们认为，夏季之所以成为妇科炎症的高发季节，主要原因是天气闷热，特别是南方地区的湿度较大，更适宜某些致病细菌的生长；另外，中医认为夏季的“湿”容易降低女性的抵抗力；室外与空调房的过大温差，也容易使女性因免疫力不足而染病。下面介绍一些日常护理方法，帮助女性安然度夏。[编者按]

卵巢也会提前退休

缘何出现卵巢早衰 生活越来越富足的今天，女人为何会遭遇卵巢早衰呢？它的发生与精神压力过大有关吗？也许问题并不是我们想象的那么简单，因为迄今为止，卵巢早衰的病因及发病机理尚不十分清楚，多数学者认为主要有以下几方面原因。     

吹填粉细砂筑堤实践与研究

岳阳长江干堤是我国第一大河重要堤防,具有重要的战略地位。江南垸堤段每到汛期,堤身散浸,堤后管涌、海底浸不断,根据各方面比选决定采用吹填粉细砂筑堤进行治理。文章对大堤设计断面及排水方案进行拟定并对渗流稳定、堤坡稳定及地震反应进行分析,认为所拟定的加固断面可行,投资省。

Coordinating Agents in Shop Floor Environments From a Dynamic Systems Perspective

In this paper, we address agent coordination from a dynamic systems perspective and propose a dynamic coordination model, which is inspired by biological metabolic systems. A new coordination mechanism through dynamic local adjustment (CDLA) is presented, and coordination is achieved when every agent utilizes explicitly the global system dynamics and performs iteratively a dynamic local adjustment procedure. The CDLA mechanism is investigated in an example multiagent shop floor system. The results show that the example manufacturing process is well-coordinated and the coordination approach is practically applicable and effective
