Full textAbstract:
Parallel architectures, like the transputer-based multicomputer network, offer potentially
enormous computational power at modest cost. However, writing programs on a multicomputer to exploit parallelism is very difficult due to the lack of tools to help users understand the run-time behavior of the parallel system and detect performance bottlenecks
in their programs. This thesis examines the performance characteristics of parallel programs in a multicomputer network, and describes the design and implementation of a real-time performance monitoring tool on transputers.
We started with a simple graph theoretical model in which a parallel computation is represented as a weighted directed acyclic graph, called the execution graph. This model allows us to easily derive a variety of performance metrics for parallel programs, such as program execution time, speedup, efficiency, etc. From this model, we also developed a new analysis method called weighted critical path analysts (WCPA), which incorporates the notion of parallelism into critical path analysis and helps users identify the program activities which have the most impact on performance. Based on these ideas, the design of a real-time performance monitoring tool was proposed and implemented on a 74-node transputer-based multicomputer. Major problems in parallel and distributed monitoring addressed in this thesis are: global state and global clock, minimization of monitoring overhead, and the presentation of meaningful data. New techniques and novel approaches to these problems have been investigated and implemented in our tool. Lastly, benchmarks are used to measure the accuracy and the overhead of our monitoring tool. We also demonstrate how this tool was used to improve the performance of an actual parallel application by more than 50%.Science, Faculty of

Nicolaou, Nicos. "Electronic performance monitoring : the crossover between self-discipline and emotion management." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2015. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/69211/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the crossover between self-discipline and emotion management in an electronic performance monitoring (EPM) setting. The intersection between these two elements is explained in terms of six main themes: control, power and discipline; compliance, conformity and resistance; rationality, performance standards and corrective action; emotional labour and the management of emotions; society, responsibility and accountability; and subjectivity, internalisation and the self. These main themes emerged from interview data and are supported by the literature. A qualitative methodology was adopted to support a social constructionist perspective. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data from a single case study organisation, and thematic coding was used for analysis. EPM systems installed in the case study call centre are used to control agents’ behaviour, embedding in their minds the importance of controlling and disciplining their own behaviour. They are forced by EPM to manage their own emotions and conform to the rules of the system through self-discipline. Nevertheless, some find it difficult constantly to suppress their emotions and may exhibit resistance. There is a preoccupation with self-correction. Agents internalise the call centre's norms of behavior. The technological environment largely determines the way in which they manage their emotions. They fake their emotions when interacting with callers, supervisors and colleagues, and exercise self-discipline and emotion management to satisfy personal and group expectations. They incorporate the cultural values, motives and beliefs of the EPM context through learning, socialisation and identification. This thesis offers significant theoretical contributions which revolve around the relationship between surveillance-induced self-discipline and emotional labour over time. It aims to alert academics and business people to the problems of emotional labour and to prompt them to make changes to the design, implementation and use of EPM.

Full textAbstract:
In light of the global shift to remote work that was prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic - the relevance and use of Electronic Performance Monitoring (EPM) significantly escalated across all sectors. However, the most recent comprehensive literature review on the topic by Ravid et al. (2020) pointed out significant gaps in how EPM is perceived by knowledge-based employees. In line with those defined gaps, we raised two research questions, regarding what the perceptions of knowledge-based workers are towards the implementation and dissemination of EPM techniques, and whether the workplace context (home/office) has an effect on knowledge-based worker’s perceptions towards it. In this paper, we take a critical approach relying on a theory-based typology of EPM characteristics and build on the organizational control theory by elaborating on the technology-mediated control concept. We follow the constructivist grounded theory approach developed by Charmaz (2008) and the data was collected via 20 semi-structured interviews. The key findings of this research showed similarities as well as differences in how knowledge-based employees perceive EPM in contrast to other types of workforce. While overall the perceptions on EPM are negative, they can to some extent be alleviated by introducing a justifiable purpose, being transparent, allowing control over monitoring, and setting clear limits. Moreover, we provided insights into the perceptions of knowledge-based workers in response to EPM within the context of working from home. In such a context, knowledge-based workers show more resistance to EPM techniques and higher expectations of privacy, transparency, and appropriate data handling. Lastly, the authors provided avenues for further research including cross-cultural perspective, access to data, and ethicality and legality of EPM.

Full textAbstract:
Call Centres represent one of the fastest growing industries today. In a competitive
business environment the service delivered by Call Centre operators needs to be quantified
and this is achieved through Electronic Performance Monitoring (EPM). This study
considered the effects of EPM, and related factors such as job control, task complexity,
performance, goal-setting and feedback, on the job satisfaction, organisational commitment
and work stress, of Call Centre operators. The impact of these factors on staff turnover,
which media reports suggest is very high for many Call Centres, was also considered. A
total of 388 participants (265 females, 123 males) completed a voluntary self-report
questionnaire. All participants were Call Centre operators who were working in one of 27
call centres across Australia in a variety of industries, including Banking & Finance, IT,
Employment, Insurance and Telecommunications. All operators were working in an
electronically monitored environment. Regression and path analyses revealed age, that is
younger employees, and job dissatisfaction to be the only variables that predicted staff
turnover. A positive perception of EPM was predicted by a positive perception of both
goal-setting and feedback. It was concluded that while staff turnover was high in the
current sample, it was not associated with perceptions of EPM, and other factors appeared
to be more important.

Full textAbstract:
Condition monitoring (CM) of gearboxes is a necessary activity due to the crucial importance of gearboxes in power transmission in most industrial applications. There has long been pressure to improve measuring techniques and develop analytical tools for early fault detection in gearboxes. This thesis develops new gearbox monitoring methods by demonstrating that operating parameters (static data) obtained from machine control processes can be used, rather than parameters obtained from vibration and acoustic measurements. Such a development has important implications for the future of CM techniques because it could greatly simplify the measurement process. To monitor the gearbox under different operating and fault conditions based on the static data, three artificial intelligence (AI) techniques: a general regression neural network (GRNN), a back propagation neural network (BPNN), and an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) have been used successfully to capture nonlinear variations of the electric motor current and control parameters such as load settings and temperatures. The three AI systems are taught the expected values of current; load and temperature for the gearbox in a given condition, and then measured values obtained from the gearbox with a known fault introduced are assessed by each of the AI models to indicate the presence of this abnormal condition. The experimental results show that each of GRNN, BPNN and ANFIS are adequate and are able to serve as an effective tool for gearbox condition monitoring and fault detection. The main contributions of this study is to examine the performance of a model based condition monitoring approach by using just operating parameters for fault detection in a two stage gearbox. A model for current prediction is developed using an ANFIS, GRNN and BPNN which captures the complicated inter-relations between measured variables, and uses direct comparison between the measured and predicted values for fault detection.

Full textAbstract:
Electronic performance monitoring (EPM) has long been associated with an array of negative effects, one of which is decreased employee self-efficacy, an essential determinant of human agency and workplace success. The negative discourse of control and discipline dominating the research field fails to account for the role of performance feedback, an integral component of EPM and part of an alternative discourse focusing on employee development. While feedback has been shown to ameliorate the negative impact of EPM, its effect on self-efficacy remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigates how employees subjected to EPM perceive and experience social persuasion – feedback aimed at increasing self-efficacy – using semi-structured interviews (with 10 customer service agents from as many call centers) and theoretical thematic analysis. The findings suggest that social persuasion can mitigate the efficacy-depleting effects of EPM, and that a mixture of positive and negative feedback is particularly conducive to successful persuasion. Moreover, the conflict between management's predilection for quantitative performance criteria and employees' qualitatively oriented conceptions of service quality is found to be a key issue. Based on these findings, it is argued that the heavy emphasis on positive feedback found in extant literature on EPM and self-efficacy is potentially misleading, as is the dominance of the control and discipline discourse. Finally, it is argued that social persuasion may ameliorate the quantitative-qualitative conflict, and that the potential of social persuasion is particularly high in call centers, where low self-efficacy levels are likely to be the norm.

Full textAbstract:
Emerging trends in Cloud computing bring numerous benefits, such as higher performance, fast and flexible provisioning of applications and capacities, lower infrastructure costs, and
almost unlimited scalability. However, the increasing complexity of automated performance and resource management
for applications in Cloud computing presents novel challenges that demand enhancement to classical control-based approaches.
An important challenge that Cloud service providers often face is a resource sharing dilemma under
workload variation. Cloud service providers pursue higher resource utilization, because the higher the utilization, the lower the hardware cost, operating cost and maintenance cost.
On the other hand, resource utilizations cannot be too high or the service provider's revenue could be jeopardized due to the inability to meet application-level service-level objectives (SLOs).
A crucial research question is how to generate as much revenue as possible by satisfying service-level agreements
while reducing costs as much as possible in order to maximize the profit for Cloud service providers.
To this end, the classical control-based approaches show great potential to address the resource sharing dilemma, which could be classified into three major categories, i.e., admission control, queueing and scheduling, and resource allocation. However, it is a challenging task to apply classical control-based approaches directly to computer systems, where first-principle models are generally not available. It becomes even more difficult due to the dynamics seen in real computer systems including workload variations, multi-tier dependencies, and resource bottleneck shifts.
Fundamentally, the main contributions of this thesis are the efforts
to enhance classical control-based approaches by leveraging other techniques
to address the increasing complexity of automated performance and resource management in the Cloud
through dynamic monitoring, modeling and management of performance and resources.
More specifically, (1) an admission control approach
is enhanced by leveraging decision theory to achieve the most profitable service-level compliance;
(2) a critical resource identification approach
is enhanced by leveraging statistical machine learning to automatically and adaptively identify critical resources;
and (3) a resource allocation approach
is enhanced by leveraging hierarchical resource management to achieve the highest resource utilization.
Concretely, the enhanced control-based approaches are implemented in
a collection of real control systems: ActiveSLA, vPerfGuard and ERController.
The control systems are applied to different real applications, such as OLTP and OLAP database applications and distributed multi-tier web applications, with different workload intensities, type and mix, in different Cloud environments.
All the experimental results show that the prototype control systems outperform existing classical control-based approaches.
Finally, this thesis opens new avenues to address the increasing complexity of automated performance and resource management
through enhancement of classical control-based approaches in Cloud environments. Future work
will consistently follow the direction of new avenues to address the new challenges that arise with the advent of new hardware technology, new software frameworks and new computing paradigms.

L’économie des contrats complets prédit qu’au sein d’une relation d’agence d’une organisation productive, en présence d’aléa moral, un dispositif de vérification de l’information permet de répondre à la fois à un problème de coopération entre les individus et à un problème de coordination des activités. Cependant, au lieu de discipliner des comportements opportunistes, ce dispositif peut engendrer des coûts cachés et réduire la motivation intrinsèque des agents à réaliser une activité qui leur a été attribuée. Sous certaines conditions, il génère une réduction de l’activité, et une perte en termes d’allocation ce qui nuit à l’efficacité.Dans cette thèse de doctorat, nous avons conduit trois expérimentations contrôlées de terrain avec assignation aléatoire qui visaient à modifier les configurations du dispositif de vérification de l’information afin de résoudre un problème organisationnel propre à trois relations d’agence particulières.Dans notre premier chapitre, nous avons testé l’effet de la variation de la quantité d’informations détenues par les cotisants sur le dispositif de vérification de la déclaration sociale grâce à des messages ciblés contenant des explications sur le pouvoir de contrôle de l’Agence centrale des organismes de sécurité sociale (Acoss) afin de réduire la fraude sociale.Dans notre deuxième chapitre, nous avons testé la réduction de l’intensité de la surveillance électronique de la performance des conseillers d’un centre d’appels sous-traitants afin d’améliorer leur qualité de vie au travail.Enfin, dans notre troisième chapitre, nous avons testé l’effet de la négociation contractuelle du dispositif d’évaluation de la participation des étudiants de licence pendant les travaux dirigés afin d’améliorer leur réussite à l’universitéEconomics of complete contracts foresees that within an agency relationship of a productive organization, in the presence of moral hazard, an information check device can address both a problem of cooperation between individuals and a problem of coordination of activities. However, instead of disciplining opportunistic behaviours, this device can generate hidden costs and reduce the intrinsic motivation of agents to perform an activity that has been assigned to them. Under certain conditions, it generates a reduction of the outcome, and a loss in terms of allocation, which is detrimental to efficiency.In this Ph.D. thesis, we conducted three randomized controlled field trials that aimed at modifying the configurations of the information check device to solve an organizational problem specific to three specific agency relationships.In our first chapter, we tested the effect of varying the amount of information held by contributors on the social reporting verification device through targeted messages containing explanations of the control power of the Agence centrale des organisations de sécurité sociale (Acoss) in order to reduce social fraud.In our second chapter, we tested the reduction in the intensity of the electronic monitoring of the performance of advisors of an outsourced call centre in order to improve their quality of life at work.Finally, in our third chapter, we tested the effect of the contractual negotiation of the device which evaluate the participation of undergraduate students during the tutorials in order to improve their success at the university

Full textAbstract:
Multi functional health monitoring wearable devices are quite prominent these days. Usually these devices are battery-operated and consequently are limited by their battery life (from few hours to a few weeks depending on the application). Of late, it was realized that these devices, which are currently being operated at fixed voltage and frequency, are capable of operating at multiple voltages and frequencies. By switching these voltages and frequencies to lower values based upon power requirements, these devices can achieve tremendous benefits in the form of energy savings. Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) techniques have proven to be handy in this situation for an efficient trade-off between energy and timely behavior. Within imec, wearable devices make use of the indigenously developed MUSEIC v2 (Multi Sensor Integrated circuit version 2.0). This system is optimized for efficient and accurate collection, processing, and transfer of data from multiple (health) sensors. MUSEIC v2 has limited means in controlling the voltage and frequency dynamically. In this thesis we explore how traditional DVFS techniques can be applied to the MUSEIC v2. Experiments were conducted to find out the optimum power modes to efficiently operate and also to scale up-down the supply voltage and frequency. Considering the overhead caused when switching voltage and frequency, transition analysis was also done. Real-time and non real-time benchmarks were implemented based on these techniques and their performance results were obtained and analyzed. In this process, several state of the art scheduling algorithms and scaling techniques were reviewed in identifying a suitable technique. Using our proposed scaling technique implementation, we have achieved 86.95% power reduction in average, in contrast to the conventional way of the MUSEIC v2 chip’s processor operating at a fixed voltage and frequency. Techniques that include light sleep and deep sleep mode were also studied and implemented, which tested the system’s capability in accommodating Dynamic Power Management (DPM) techniques that can achieve greater benefits. A novel approach for implementing the deep sleep mechanism was also proposed and found that it can obtain up to 71.54% power savings, when compared to a traditional way of executing deep sleep mode.Nuförtiden så har multifunktionella bärbara hälsoenheter fått en betydande roll. Dessa enheter drivs vanligtvis av batterier och är därför begränsade av batteritiden (från ett par timmar till ett par veckor beroende på tillämpningen). På senaste tiden har det framkommit att dessa enheter som används vid en fast spänning och frekvens kan användas vid flera spänningar och frekvenser. Genom att byta till lägre spänning och frekvens på grund av effektbehov så kan enheterna få enorma fördelar när det kommer till energibesparing. Dynamisk skalning av spänning och frekvens-tekniker (såkallad Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling, DVFS) har visat sig vara användbara i detta sammanhang för en effektiv avvägning mellan energi och beteende. Hos Imec så använder sig bärbara enheter av den internt utvecklade MUSEIC v2 (Multi Sensor Integrated circuit version 2.0). Systemet är optimerat för effektiv och korrekt insamling, bearbetning och överföring av data från flera (hälso) sensorer. MUSEIC v2 har begränsad möjlighet att styra spänningen och frekvensen dynamiskt. I detta examensarbete undersöker vi hur traditionella DVFS-tekniker kan appliceras på MUSEIC v2. Experiment utfördes för att ta reda på de optimala effektlägena och för att effektivt kunna styra och även skala upp matningsspänningen och frekvensen. Eftersom att ”overhead” skapades vid växling av spänning och frekvens gjordes också en övergångsanalys. Realtidsoch icke-realtidskalkyler genomfördes baserat på dessa tekniker och resultaten sammanställdes och analyserades. I denna process granskades flera toppmoderna schemaläggningsalgoritmer och skalningstekniker för att hitta en lämplig teknik. Genom att använda vår föreslagna skalningsteknikimplementering har vi uppnått 86,95% effektreduktion i jämförelse med det konventionella sättet att MUSEIC v2-chipets processor arbetar med en fast spänning och frekvens. Tekniker som inkluderar lätt sömn och djupt sömnläge studerades och implementerades, vilket testade systemets förmåga att tillgodose DPM-tekniker (Dynamic Power Management) som kan uppnå ännu större fördelar. En ny metod för att genomföra den djupa sömnmekanismen föreslogs också och enligt erhållna resultat så kan den ge upp till 71,54% lägre energiförbrukning jämfört med det traditionella sättet att implementera djupt sömnläge.

CMOSFET devices of 18 nanometers have been manufactured by using FinFET structure to achieve higher speeds of transferring signals and, in the mean time, to lower the consuming power. FinFET has gained the reputation because of its less leaky fin-like channel and higher controllability with elimination of body such that the whole channel is thus depleted as the gate is biased. One is intrigued in how the measured ID-VD curves fit the conventional parameterized ID-VD model, in which many physical quantities are even revealed. On the other hand, one of the CMOS applications is concerning automatic control system, in which 8051 CPU is proposed to deal with the digital signals coming from the sensor and, therefore, send commands. For example, the temperature sensor senses the temperature of the circumstance and there appears the analog voltage, which is converted into digital signal via ADC0804.

Semiconductor industry is overwhelmingly successful and progressive, especially from 0.1 micron devices to 20 nanometers devices. The scale decreasing of transistors results in the density of transistors such that it does not only lower the production cost but also reduce the consuming power. For channel length less than 40nm, FinFET devices become the mainstream because of even better controllability. FinFET uses 3-dimensional fin-like channel with the aspect-ratio of the fin as high as 50:1. It successfully eliminates high leakage current at such a short channel length by applying a bias to the gate and then depleting the whole fin standing on the insulator (silicon dioxide, known as silicon on insulator or SOI). One thus measures the fabricated FinFET devices, analyzes current-voltage curves, and deliberately fits the curves to find the underlying physical quantities. Furthermore, automatic control system using 8051 CPU is put to simulating. One tries built up a carbon dioxide sensor to sense the concentration of carbon dioxide, in which the analog signal is sent to the ADC0804 and converted into the digital signal. As the criteria of the digital signal are reached, the system sends out the power to protect the circumstances from being with such a high concentration of carbon dioxide.
