Database management systems (DBMS) are critical performance components in large scale applications under modern update intensive workloads. Additional access paths accelerate look-up performance in DBMS for frequently queried attributes, but the required maintenance slows down update performance. The ubiquitous B+ tree is a commonly used key-indexed access path that is able to support many required functionalities with logarithmic access time to requested records. Modern processing and storage technologies and their characteristics require reconsideration of matured indexing approaches for today's workloads. Partitioned B-trees (PBT) leverage characteristics of modern hardware technologies and complex memory hierarchies as well as high update rates and changes in workloads by maintaining partitions within one single B+-Tree. This paper includes an experimental evaluation of PBTs optimized write pattern and performance improvements. With PBT transactional throughput under TPC-C increases 30%; PBT results in beneficial sequential write patterns even in presence of updates and maintenance operations.
Workshops and tutorials
(2018)
The 19th International Conference on Product-Focused Software Process Improvement (PROFES 2018) hosted two workshops and three tutorials. The workshops and tutorials complemented and enhanced the main conference program, offering a wider knowledge perspective around the conference topics. The topics of the two workshops were Hybrid Development Approaches in Software Systems Development (HELENA) and Managing Quality in Agile & Rapid Software Development Processes (QUaSD). The topics of the tutorials were The human factor in agile transitions – using the personas concept in agile oaching, Process Management 4.0 – Best Practices, and Domain-specific languages for specification, development, and testing of autonomous systems.
Introduction: Even if there is a standard procedure of CI surgery, especially in pediatric surgery surgical steps often differ individually due to anatomical variations, malformations or unforseen events. This is why every surgical report should be created individually, which takes time and relies on the correct memory of the surgeon. A standardized recording of intraoperative data and subsequent storage as well as text processing would therefore be desirable and provides the basis for subsequent data processing, e.g. in the context of research or quality assurance.
Method: In cooperation with Reutlingen University, we conducted a workflow analysis of the prototype of a semi-automatic checklist tool. Based on automatically generated checklists generated from BPMN models a prototype user interface was developed for an android tablet. Functions such as uploading photos and files, manual user entries, the interception of foreseeable deviations from the normal course of operations and the automatic creation of OP documentation could be implemented. The system was tested in a remote usability test on a petrous bone model.
Result: The user interface allows a simple intuitive handling, which can be well implemented in the intraoperative setting. Clinical data as well as surgical steps could be individually recorded and saved via DICOM. An automatic surgery report could be created and saved.
Summary: The use of a dynamic checklist tool facilitates the capture, storage and processing of surgical data. Further applications in clinical practice are pending.
Der elektrische Wirkungsgrad stellt eines der wichtigsten Bewertungskriterien für BHKW dar, da über diese Größe ausgedrückt wird, wie viel des Wertproduktes „elektrische Energie“ bezogen auf die eingesetzte oder aufzuwendende Brennstoffenergie produziert werden kann. Ein hoher elektrischer Wirkungsgrad ist somit gleichbedeutend mit hohen Erlösen aus dem Verkauf der erzeugten elektrischen Energie und damit eine grundlegende Voraussetzung für einen wirtschaftlichen Betrieb eines BHKWs. Folglich sind die Hersteller von BHKW bestrebt, den elektrischen Wirkungsgrad ihrer Geräte kontinuierlich zu verbessern und nach oben zu treiben. Dieses Bemühen zeigt sich eindrucksvoll an der Entwicklung der mechanischen Effizienz von Gasmotoren der Firma GE Jenbacher. Während mit Motoren der Baureihe 6 im Leistungsbereich 1,8 – 4,4 MWel im Jahr 1988 eine mechanische Effizienz von 34% erreichbar war, liegt dieser Wert mittlerweile bei etwa 47,5%. Diese enorme Steigerung konnte im Wesentlichen durch eine Erhöhung des mittleren effektiven Zylinderarbeitsdrucks von etwa 10 bar im Jahr 1988 auf derzeit 24 bar erzielt werden. Dabei hilft der Magerbetrieb, der gleichzeitig ein Zurückdrängen der NOx-Emissionen bewirkt, die Klopfgrenze zu höheren Drücken hin zu verschieben. Eine sichere Zündung des Gas-Luft-Gemisches wird durch die Vorkammerzündung erreicht.
