Piranha

Proceedings of the 27th annual international symposium on Computer architecture - ISCA '00, 2000
The microprocessor industry is currently struggling with higher development costs and longer design times that arise from exceedingly complex processors that are pushing the limits of instruction-level parallelism. Meanwhile, such designs are especially ill suited for important commercial applications, such as on-line transaction processing (OLTP ...

Piranha

Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment, 2013
Cluster computing has emerged as a key parallel processing platform for large scale data. All major internet companies use it as their major central processing platform. One of cluster computing's most popular examples is MapReduce and its open source implementation Hadoop. These systems were originally designed for batch and massive-scale computations.

Ultrastructure of sonic muscles of piranhas (Serrasalmidae)

Journal of Morphology, 2022
Abstract Among piranhas, different species are able to produce sounds but not all of them use the same mechanism. In all species, the sound‐producing muscle originates on the second vertebra, but the insertion differs.

A fishbowl with piranhas

Companion to the 21st ACM SIGPLAN symposium on Object-oriented programming systems, languages, and applications, 2006
Agile software development practices including XP and Scrum have risen to prominence within the software engineering community over the past ten years. Are agile software development practices converging? Are some practices becoming more integrated and/or more widely adopted than others?

PIRANHAS COMMUNICATE ACOUSTICALLY

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2011
![Figure][1] Thanks to Hollywood, piranhas have a bad reputation and it would be a brave scientist that chose to plunge their hand into a tank full of them. But that didn't deter Sandie Millot, Pierre Vandewalle and Eric Parmentier from the University of Liege, Belgium.

Adaptive parallelism and Piranha

Computer, 1995
Desktop computers are idle much of the time. Ongoing trends make aggregate LAN "waste"-idle compute cycles-an increasingly attractive target for recycling. Piranha, a software implementation of adaptive parallelism, allows these waste cycles to be recaptured by putting them to work running parallel applications.

Partner choice in piranha shoals

Behaviour, 2003
AbstractAlthough the red-bellied piranha, Pygocentrus nattereri is widely portrayed as a pack-hunting predator virtually nothing is known about its shoaling behaviour. Using fish collected in the flooded forest of the Brazilian Amazon, we conducted a range of choice tests to determine whether individual piranhas make non-random shoaling decisions ...

A piranha fish bites back

British Journalism Review, 2009
During the miners’ strike in 1984, the union’s leader, Arthur Scargill, prided himself on his ability to thwart the news media by refusing interviews and denying reporters information. But he once recruited Nicholas Jones, then the BBC’s industrial correspondent, to act as his driver on a long journey. To mark the strike’s 25th anniversary, he finally
