A Case Study in Coordination Programming: Performance Evaluation of S-Net vs Intel's Concurrent Collections

We present a programming methodology and runtime performance case study comparing the declarative data flow coordination language S-Net with Intel's Concurrent Collections (CnC). As a coordination language S-Net achieves a near-complete separation of concerns between sequential software components implemented in a separate algorithmic language and their parallel orchestration in an asynchronous data flow streaming network. We investigate the merits of S-Net and CnC with the help of a relevant and non-trivial linear algebra problem: tiled Cholesky decomposition. We describe two alternative S-Net implementations of tiled Cholesky factorization and compare them with two CnC implementations, one with explicit performance tuning and one without, that have previously been used to illustrate Intel CnC. Our experiments on a 48-core machine demonstrate that S-Net manages to outperform CnC on this problem.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures, 1 table, accepted for PLC 2014 worksho

Quantum strategy creation by interlocking interconnecting directors in boards of directors in modern organizations at time of globalization

The research explores a scientific problem on the quantum strategy creation and implementation by the interlocking interconnecting directors in the boards of directors in the modern organizations at the time of globalization, solving the winning virtuous strategy search, the most effective strategy selection and the organizational strategy optimization paradigms. We know that, having the different mindset architectures, the directors in the interlocking interconnecting directors networks in the boards of directors in the modern organizations complete the information sensing, filtering, processing, resonant absorption, analysis, strategy decision making processes with the aim to create and implement the most effective optimal winning virtuous organization development strategy, applying the early researched deductive, inductive and abductive logics. We propose that the new quantum strategy can be considered as a most effective optimal winning virtuous organizational strategy, allowing the board of directors to set a right direction vector toward the business development, to establish a necessary actions plan and to reach the sustainable business profitability goals in the economies of the scales and scopes. We explain that the quantum strategy can be formulated, going from: 1) the new quantum logic principles in the Copenhagen interpretation in the quantum mechanics science, 2) the deductive, inductive and abductive logics existing knowledge in the philosophy science, and 3) the modern strategy research findings in the business administration science. We think that the directors in the boards of directors in the complex organizations can implement the quantum strategies with the ultimate goal to build the prosperous organizations in the economies of the scale and scope at the time of the disruptive changes and opportunities by the globalization

Multivector strategy vs quantum strategy by Apple Inc

We propose that the quantum strategy can be considered as a most effective winning virtuous organizational strategy, allowing the board of directors to build a prosperous organization with the optimal business model in the economies of the scale and scopes at the time of the great opportunities and unexpected challenges by the globalization. We provide a concise definition on the quantum strategy: The organizational strategy, which can be derived with the use of the quantum strategy search algorithm by the interlocking interconnecting directors in the board of directors in the modern organization at the time of the global integration. We demonstrate that the quantum strategy search algorithm applies the quantum logic (the probabilistic logic) on the top of the inductive, deductive and abductive logics (the value based logics), aiming to create the most effective optimal winning virtuous organizational strategy by the interlocking interconnecting directors in the board of directors in the modern organization in the information century. We highlight the main existing differences between the multivector strategy (the multiple different strategies implementation at the selected time period) and the quantum strategy (the most effective optimal winning virtuous organizational strategy implementation at the selected time period), considering the real-life case study on the strategy formulation and execution by the interlocking interconnecting directors in the board of directors in the Apple Inc. We express a research opinion that the quantum strategy can be clearly defined/distinguished in line with the generally accepted scientific definitions/meanings/ principles in the quantum mechanics science. We think that the prosperous organizations will create and implement the quantum strategies to increase their valuations and outperform the competitors in the economies of the scales and scopes at the time of globalization

Quantum strategy synthesis by Alphabet Inc

We make the business at the time of great transition from the digital disruption to the quantum disruption, when the multiple quantum inventions in the natural/social sciences lead to the quantum leaps realization by the modern firms in the hi-tech industries in the quantum creative economies of the scales and scopes in the quantum disruption age. At this opportunities/challenges time period, a chairman of the board of directors must take a personal responsibility for the creation and execution of the quantum strategy - a most effective winning virtuous organizational strategy - toward the optimal business model design/discovery for the prosperous effective organization in the quantum creative economies of the scales and scopes in the quantum disruption century. The quantum strategy uses the quantum strategy search algorithm, applying the quantum logic (the probabilistic logic) on the top of the inductive, deductive and abductive logics (the value based logics) with the purpose to create the most effective optimal winning virtuous organizational strategy by the chairman of the board of directors with the interlocking interconnecting directors in the modern firms in the quantum creative economies of the scales and scopes in the quantum disruption time. We study the case on the quantum strategy formulation and execution by a chairmen of the boards of directors with the interlocking interconnecting directors in the modern firms such as Alphabet Inc, expressing a great confidence that the quantum strategies will continue to be implemented by the prosperous organizations to increase their valuations in the quantum creative economies of the scales and scopes in the quantum disruption century
