Disks, Partitions, Volumes and RAID Performance with the Linux Operating System
Michel R. Dagenais
Block devices in computer operating systems typically correspond to disks or disk partitions, and are used to store files in a filesystem. Disks are not the only real or virtual de…
Software Performance Analysis
Michel R. Dagenais, Karim Yaghmour, Charles Levert +1
The key to speeding up applications is often understanding where the elapsed time is spent, and why. This document reviews in depth the full array of performance analysis tools and…
Fast Recompilation of Object Oriented Modules
Jerome Collin, Michel Dagenais
Once a program file is modified, the recompilation time should be minimized, without sacrificing execution speed or high level object oriented features. The recompilation time is o…
Integrating transport equations by combining transfer matrices, transmission-reflection matrices, and Green's matrices, in the context of light propagation in foliage
Antoine Royer, Sophie Royer
In many problems, it is necessary to integrate a transport equation. Here we consider specifically light incident on a horizontally homogeneous foliage ('the canopy'), modeled as a…
A homing problem for diffusion processes with control-dependent variance
Mario Lefebvre
Controlled one-dimensional diffusion processes, with infinitesimal variance (instead of the infinitesimal mean) depending on the control variable, are considered in an interval loc…
