- On the Accuracy of TCP Throughput Prediction for Opportunistic Wireless Networks
- The increasing density of WiFi Access Points APs in metropolitan areas is enabling an opportunistic model of wireless networking, whereby a "Guest" user within range of one or more wireless APs can gain temporary Internet access through these APs. This paper addresses the problem of TCP throughput prediction for opportunistic...

- High-Bandwidth Address Translation for Multiple-Issue Processors
- In an effort to push the envelope of system performance, microprocessor designs are continually exploiting higher levels of instruction-level parallelism, resulting in increasing bandwidth demands on the address translation mechanism. Most current microprocessor designs meet this demand with a multi-ported TLB. While this design provides an excellent hit rate at...

- An Evaluation of Server Consolidation Workloads for Multi-Core Designs
- While chip multiprocessors with ten or more cores will be feasible within a few years, the search for applications that fully exploit their attributes continues. In the meantime, one sure-fire application for such machines will be to serve as consolidation platforms for sets of workloads that previously occupied multiple discrete...

- Formative Feedback Systems and the New Instructional Leadership
- Formative feedback systems are systems of structures, people, and practices that help teachers and administrators translate testing data into practical information for everyday use. Formative feedback systems live at the heart of systemic school improvement efforts. Without accurate and timely information on the results of intended interventions, school leaders and...

- Teaching nanoscience to the blind
- Nanoscale objects are much too small for us to see them. So, according to educators at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, nanotechnology is a research field where blind students and sighted ones are equal. After all, "were all blind at the nanoscale," says a member of the educational team. Theyve built...

- Wireless Virtualization on Commodity 802.11 Hardware
- This paper describes specific challenges in virtualizating a wireless network and multiple strategies to address them. Among different possible wireless virtualization strategies, the current work in this domain is focussed on a Time-Division Multiplexing TDM approach. Hence, the paper presents the experiences in the design and implementation of such TDM-based...

- Laboratory-Based Calibration of Available Bandwidth Estimation Tools
- Examining the validity or accuracy of proposed available bandwidth estimation tools remains a challenging problem. A common approach consists of evaluating a newly developed tool using a combination of simple ns-type simulations and feasible experiments in situ (i.e., using parts of the actual Internet). This paper argues that this strategy...

- 3-D flexible computer chips
- Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have isolated a single-crystal film of semiconductor from the substrate on which it is built. Then they transferred this very thin film -- 200 nanometers thick -- on plastic. Both sides of the film can host active components and several layers can be stacked,...

- Clocking the movements of atoms
- With their special microscopes, scientists and engineers involved in nanotechnologies have been able to 'see' atoms for a while. But they couldn't clock these atoms' response to events which typically occur in nanoseconds. Now, U.S. physicists have found a way to clock the movements of atoms at the nanometer scale....

- Dell Helps University Create Computer Labs That Instantly Respond to Student and Faculty Needs and Save Up to 36 Days of Work Per Year
- The University of Wisconsin-Parkside recognized that students were deriving inconsistent experiences from its computer labs because desktop images were difficult to control and time-consuming to change. Students were unable to find the applications they needed and faculty were limited to particular labs that were designed for them. The university deployed...
