Transacciones en SQL Server

Una introducción a los objetivos y contenidos de la sesión 2 del curso de Bases de Datos dentro del Máster Universitario en Desarrollo de Aplicaciones y Servicios Web de la Universidad de Alicante. Se describe someramente qué se entiende por una transacción y se nombran los niveles de aislamiento en SQL Server. Todo enfocado a la realización de los ejercicios-demostraciones de esos niveles de aislamiento. Ingenuo y con fallos de encuadre e iluminación clamorosos, pero no tiene más ambiciones que la de dejar constancia de algunas de las cosas que se dijeron en clase.

Ejemplos de transacciones en SQL Server

Descripción de cómo facilitar la ejecución de los ejercicios de la sesión de transacciones del moodle de la asignatura. Se trata de reorganizar las ventanas y hacer espacio para tener dos consultas a la vista. En cada una de ellas se mantendrán una o varias transacciones que pretendemos ejecutar simultáneamente. De esta forma podremos ver qué transacciones esperan a las otras y pasar de una a otra consulta con facilidad.

Paginación en SQL Server

Una introducción a los objetivos y contenidos de la sesión 3 del curso de Bases de Datos dentro del Máster Universitario en Desarrollo de Aplicaciones y Servicios Web de la Universidad de Alicante. El trabajo que permite la calificación de esta primera parte del curso se basa, precisamente, en lo que se describe en este vídeo. La paginación de resultados es una técnica que pretende agilizar el manejo remoto de grandes cantidades de datos. El ejemplo clásico es la navegación por un catálogo de productos. Si es el servidor el que, por el procedimiento que sea, divide la lista completa en páginas y solo envía una de ellas al cliente, estamos ahorrando en tiempo y uso de red. En SQL Server, para esta tarea, es fácil encontrar opiniones que desaconsejan el uso de cursores puesto que se supone que el entorno objetivo es de alta concurrencia. No obstante, se puede usar TOP() y ROW_NUMBER(). La sesión consiste en una serie de ejemplos sobre todas estas herramientas.

Tuning compilations by multi-objective optimization: Application to Apache web server

Modern compilers present a great and ever increasing number of options which can modify the features and behavior of a compiled program. Many of these options are often wasted due to the required comprehensive knowledge about both the underlying architecture and the internal processes of the compiler. In this context, it is usual, not having a single design goal but a more complex set of objectives. In addition, the dependencies between different goals are difficult to be a priori inferred. This paper proposes a strategy for tuning the compilation of any given application. This is accomplished by using an automatic variation of the compilation options by means of multi-objective optimization and evolutionary computation commanded by the NSGA-II algorithm. This allows finding compilation options that simultaneously optimize different objectives. The advantages of our proposal are illustrated by means of a case study based on the well-known Apache web server. Our strategy has demonstrated an ability to find improvements up to 7.5% and up to 27% in context switches and L2 cache misses, respectively, and also discovers the most important bottlenecks involved in the application performance.

Effects of Economic Factors on Adoption of Robotics and Consequences of Automation for Productivity Growth of Dairy Farms. Factor Markets Working Paper No. 32, December 2012

In the long term, productivity and especially productivity growth are necessary conditions for the survival of a farm. This paper focuses on the technology choice of a dairy farm, i.e. the choice between a conventional and an automatic milking system. Its aim is to reveal the extent to which economic rationality explains investing in new technology. The adoption of robotics is further linked to farm productivity to show how capital-intensive technology has affected the overall productivity of milk production. The empirical analysis applies a probit model and an extended Cobb-Douglas-type production function to a Finnish farm-level dataset for the years 2000–10. The results show that very few economic factors on a dairy farm or in its economic environment can be identified to affect the switch to automatic milking. Existing machinery capital and investment allowances are among the significant factors. The results also indicate that the probability of investing in robotics responds elastically to a change in investment aids: an increase of 1% in aid would generate an increase of 2% in the probability of investing. Despite the presence of non-economic incentives, the switch to robotic milking is proven to promote productivity development on dairy farms. No productivity growth is observed on farms that keep conventional milking systems, whereas farms with robotic milking have a growth rate of 8.1% per year. The mean rate for farms that switch to robotic milking is 7.0% per year. The results show great progress in productivity growth, with the average of the sector at around 2% per year during the past two decades. In conclusion, investments in new technology as well as investment aids to boost investments are needed in low-productivity areas where investments in new technology still have great potential to increase productivity, and thus profitability and competitiveness, in the long run.

Recent international activity in cooperative vehicle-highway automation systems /

This report summarizes the current state of the art in cooperative vehicle-highway automation systems in Europe and Asia based on a series of meetings, demonstrations, and site visits, combined with the results of literature review. This review covers systems that provide drivers with a range of automation capabilities, from driver assistance to fully automated driving, with an emphasis on cooperative systems that involve active exchanges of information between the vehicles and the roadside and among separate vehicles. The trends in development and deployment of these systems are examined by country, and the similarities and differences relative to the U.S. situation are noted, leading toward recommendations for future U.S. action. The Literature Review on Recent International Activity in Cooperative Vehicle-Highway Automation Systems is published separately as FHWA-HRT-13-025.

Literature review on recent international activity in cooperative vehicle-highway automation systems /

This literature review supports the report, Recent International Activity in Cooperative Vehicle-Highway Automation Systems. It reviews the published literature in English dating from 2007 or later about non-U.S.-based work on cooperative vehicle-highway automation systems. This review covers work performed in Europe and Japan, with application to transit buses, heavy trucks, and passenger cars. In addition to fully automated driving of the vehicles (without human intervention), it also covers partial automation systems, which automate subsets of the total driving process. Recent International Activity in Cooperative Vehicle Highway Automation Systems is published separately as FHWA-HRT-12-033.
