The previous studies have been carried out on accessibility in daily life. However it is an important issue to improve the accessibility of emergency vehicles after a large earthquake. In this paper, we analyzed the accessibility of firefighters by using a microscopic simulation model immediately after a large earthquake. More specifically, we constructed the simulation model, which describes the property damage, such as collapsed buildings, street blockages, outbreaks of fires, and fire spreading, and the movement of firefighters from fire stations to the locations of fires in a large-scale earthquake. Using this model, we analyzed the influence of the street-blockage on the access time of firefighters. In case streets are blocked according to property damage simulation, the result showed the average access time is more than 10 minutes in the outskirts of the 23 wards of Tokyo, and there are some firefighters arrive over 20 minutes at most. Additionally, we focused on the alternative routes and proposed that volunteers collect information on street blockages to improve the accessibility of firefighters. Finally we demonstrated that access time of firefighters can be reduced to the same level as the case no streets were blocked if 0.3% of residents collected information in 10 minutes.

Cache Scheme

Most recently used (MRU) cache is one of the set-associative caches that emphasize implementation of associativity higher than 2. However, the access time is increased because the MRU information must be fetched before accessing the sequential MRU (SMRU) cache. In this paper, focusing on the SMRU cache with subblock placement, we propose an MRU cache scheme that separates the valid bits from data memory and uses these valid bits to decide to reduce the unnecessary access number of memory banks. By this approach, the probability of the front hits is thus increased, and it significantly helps in improving the average access time of the SMRU cache without valid-bit assistant search especially for large associativity and small subblock size.

Memory Request

We provide a stochastic analysis of hard disk performance, including a closed form solution for the average access time of a memory request. The model we use covers a wide range of types and applications of disks, and in particular it captures modern innovations like zone bit recording. The derivation is based on an analytical technique we call “shuffling”, which greatly simplifies the analysis relative to previous work and provides a simple, easy-to-use formula for the average access time. Our analysis can predict performance of single disks for a wide range of disk types and workloads. Furthermore, it can predict the performance benefits of several optimizations, including short stroking and mirroring, which are common in disk arrays.

Average Access Time

<p>Nowadays, scientific applications generate a huge amount of data in terabytes or petabytes. Data grids currently proposed solutions to large scale data management problems including efficient file transfer and replication. Data is typically replicated in a Data Grid to improve the job response time and data availability. A reasonable number and right locations for replicas has become a challenge in the Data Grid. In this paper, a four-phase dynamic data replication algorithm based on Temporal and Geographical locality is proposed. It includes: 1) evaluating and identifying the popular data and triggering a replication operation when the popularity data passes a dynamic threshold; 2) analyzing and modeling the relationship between system availability and the number of replicas, and calculating a suitable number of new replicas; 3) evaluating and identifying the popular data in each site, and placing replicas among them; 4) removing files with least cost of average access time when encountering insufficient space for replication. The algorithm was tested using a grid simulator, OptorSim developed by European Data Grid Projects. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in comparison with other algorithms in terms of job execution time, effective network usage and percentage of storage filled.</p>

The Web

In  this  research,  a  Distributed  File  Server (DFS) is developed to manage the need of a large storage space in the server, especially when the multimedia files are saved permanently in the web server. In the development, Apache Web Server is used with 1 computer as the main server, 2 computers as file servers, and 1 computer as the client who sends request. The result from the implementation of the DFS is the usage of main server’s storage space can be reduced by 99,77% from the full usage condition, causing an optimization in the web server. Another parameter is also being tested by the implementation of the DFS, which is the index.html page’s average access time. When only one server is being used, the average access time is 2,327 second. Whereas, when three servers are being used, the average access time is 5,577 second.

Performa komputer dari generasi ke generasi mengalami peningkatan yang cukup pesat, terutama dalam hal kecepatan pemrosesan data. Jika kita amati, kecepatan komputer dalam melakukan pemrosesan data merupakan arah dari  perkembangan generasi komputer. Kecepatan pemrosesan data ini sangat dipengaruhi oleh average access time pada cache prosesor. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan performa dan memberikan gambaran average access time pada multilevel cache proseesor komputer. Untuk mendapatkan perbandingan dan gambaran mengenai cara menghitung average access time ini, digunakan dua buah prosesor sebagai sampel yaitu Intel Core I7 2600K dan Phenom II X6 1100T. Untuk membandingkan average access time dari kedua prosesor tersebut, diperlukan dua indikator yaitu access time dan hit rate. Dari  hasil  analisis  yang  dilakukan,  dapat disimpulkan  bahwa dari segi average access time, prosesor Phenom X6 1100T memiliki performa lebih baik jika dibandingkan dengan prosesor  Intel Core I7 2600K.

Abstract CriaCerto App was launched in February 2019 by Embrapa, Brazil, as free access, available at www.criacerto.com. It simulates the costs and benefits of the main breeding systems for cattle production: Natural Service (NS), One Fixed Time Artificial Insemination plus NS (1FTAI), Two Fixed Time Artificial Insemination plus NS (2FTAI), and Three Fixed Time Inseminations (3FTAI). This work aimed to evaluate the use of the App as well as the results of the simulations carried out during the 12 months following its launch. From February 14th, 2019 to February 20th, 2020, 4,780 accesses to the platform were recorded, with an average access time of 3 min 30 s. Eighty percent of accesses were made using mobile phones, 15% from desktops, and 5% via tablets. These accesses resulted in 975 different simulations, where 51% were from NS, 24% of 1FTAI, 14% 2FTAI, and 11% 3FTAI. There was a difference between the prices the farmers were willing to pay for the bulls according to the reproduction method. Those who performed NS simulations were willing to pay less for bulls than those who simulated 1FTAI or 2FTAI. It was also observed that the price to be paid per semen dose on 1FTAI simulations was practically double of the 2FTAI. This indicates that farmers are willing to invest in genetically superior bulls, which are usually more expensive, but the decision is made based on the total amount of money spent. It also indicates that farmers take into account the trade-off between the cost of the bull, semen dose and the benefits of genetic improvement. In Brazil only 12% of the total beef cows participate in artificial insemination programs. Nonetheless, through this study, we concluded that farmers are opened to invest in FTAI, even though they do not want to pay high prices in semen doses.
