1. Consistent Hashing Consider the following two scenarios. Describe in each case why consistent hashing is likely to perform better than hashing. Scenario 1: There is a fixed set of cache servers implementing consistent hashing and a population of clients who have incomplete views of the system i.e. each client only knows about a fraction of the servers Scenario 2: There is a set of cache servers that change i.e. nodes come and go. Answer 1: Hashing: Hashing is an easy to implement and quick

paradox, all exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) Most natural optimization problems, including those arising in important application areas, are NP-hard. Therefore, under the widely believed conjecture that P = NP, their exact solution is prohibitively time consuming. Charting the landscape of approximability of these problems, via polynomial time algorithms, therefore becomes a compelling subject of scientific inquiry in computer science and mathematics

monopolist when it sells 6 units of the commodity without practicing any form of price discrimination. What is the value of the consumers’ surplus? ( b) What would be the total revenue of the monopolist if it practiced first-degree price discrimination? How much would the consumers’ surplus be in this case? ( c) What if the monopolist charged P = $ 5.50 for the first 3 units of the commodity and P = $ 4 for the next 3 units— what type of price discrimination is this? Note: 1. P12: You could use figure

administrators, and IS operations staff. The POE system was scheduled to ‚go live‛ on a pilot basis in the middle of October in the hospital’s labor and delivery unit. It had not been difficult to mount support for the project. POE systems had been demonstrated to reduce error rates, and medical errors were widely recognized as a large and serious problem in health care. A landmark study published in 19911 estimated that 1.3 million injuries occurred annually in U.S. hospitals, 69% of which were at last partially

building 2 new plants and 6 new warehouses. The problem is modeled as a linear program with objective to minimize cost. However, the model must be formulated as piecewise linear in order to account for the non-linear warehousing costs. The recommended course of action for Usemore is to build 1 new plant, shut down 5 of the existing public warehouses, and open 5 of the new warehouses. Table of Contents Abstract ii 1.
