This us-age is clearly informed by the conventional under-standing of 'eironeia,' but 'irony' does not mean deception. There are two basic kinds of irony, ver-bal and situational. Verbal irony occurs when ...

MRRC: an effective cache for fast memory registration in RDMA

https://cis.temple.edu/~he/publications/Conferences/RDMA_MSST06.pdf

Abstract RDMA reduces network latency by eliminating unnec-essary copies from network interface card to application buffers, but how to reduce memory registration cost is a challenge. Previous studies use pin-down cache and batched deregistration to address this issue, but only sim-ple LRU is used as a replacement algorithm to manage the cache space. In this paper, we propose an effective ...

evolutionary time across the globe (Menge and Lub-chenco 1981, Albouy et al. 2019, Silvestro et al. 2020). Although evidence continues to accrue in support of the prediction that predation intensity is stronger at lower latitudes (e.g., Schemske et al. 2009, Roslin et al. 2017, Reynolds et al. 2018), debate on its generality persists (Roesti et al. 2020). Further, variation in predation ...
