Description This consistency model was initially designed for replicated data management in adhoc gaming in order to minimize bandwidth usage without sacrificing playability. Intuitively, it captures the notion that although players require, wish, and take advantage of information regarding the whole of the game world as opposed to a restricted view to rooms, arenas, etc. of limited size employed in many multiplayer game s , they need to know information with greater freshness, frequency, and accuracy as other game entities are located closer and closer to the player s position. It prescribes a multidimensional divergence bounding scheme, based on a vector field that employs consistency vectors k , , , standing for maximum allowed t ime or replica staleness, s equence or missing updates, and v alue ref group nb sub Since in the Greek alphabet there was no letter for the vee sound, the nu letter was preferred for its resemblance with the roman V, for v alue, instead of beta for the v ... more details

C News is a news server package, written by Geoff Collyer , assisted by Henry Spencer , at the University of Toronto as a replacement for B News . It was presented at the Winter 1987 USENIX conference in Washington, D.C. Functionally, the operation of C News is very much like that of B News. One major difference was that C News was written with porting portability in mind. It ran on many variants of Unix and even MS DOS . The relaynews program that handled article filing and feeding was carefully optimized and designed to process articles in batches, while B News processed one article per program invocation. The authors claimed that relaynews could process articles 19 times as quickly as B News. In 1992, Collyer gave C News a new index facility called NOV or News Overview . This allowed newsreaders to rapidly retrieve header and threading information with relatively little load on the server. Virtually all As of 2004 alt current news servers continue to use this method in the form of the Network News Transfer Protocol NNTP XOVER command. Development of C News stopped about 1995, and the package was largely superseded by InterNetNews INN .

FX 32 is a software emulator program that allows x86 Win32 programs to execute on Alpha based systems running Windows NT . Released in 1996 , FX 32 was developed by Digital Equipment Corporation DEC to support their DEC Alpha Alpha microprocessor s. At the time, there was a belief that RISC based microprocessors were likely to replace x86 based microprocessors, due to a more efficient and simplified implementation that could reach higher clock frequencies. The one thing that held Alpha back was application compatibility with existing Win32 x86 applications. Emulation has been around for a while as a concept, but FX 32 went one stage further. It analysed the way programs worked and in real time, developed dynamic link library DLL files of native Alpha code that the application could call upon next time it ran. This way even in the 1.0 release, FX 32 achieved speeds with Win32 x86 applications of 40 50 native, with 70 projected as likely with improved optimization.
