Prefetching is a well known concept for CPUs but for GPUs it is fairly unexplored. The memory management of a GPU plays a crucial role in its performance, and cache prefetching has the potential to lower the overall latency. This thesis compares different types of prefetching methods for GPUs and remaking some CPU prefetchers to fit the GPU architecture. All these prefetchers were then put inside
Denna uppsats undersöker artificiell intelligens förmåga att klarspråksanpassa text. Syftet med undersökningen är att ta reda på om Chat GPT-4 kan användas för klarspråksanpassning, och om Chat GPT-4:s klarspråksanpassningar skiljer sig från mänskliga klarspråksanpassningar och i så fall hur. Materialet består av sex klarspråksanpassade versioner av en text från en svensk myndighet. Tre av textern
This thesis analyses the risk of nonstandard errors affecting bank prediction using machine learning. Nonstandard errors are defined as the type of errors that occur during the Evidence Generating Process (EGP), meaning that these occur as a consequence of decision-making by researchers, rather than from sampling. The aim is to analyze how different choices of methods for pre-processing and data e
Inhalable particulate matter concentrations have been found to reach concerning levels in underground subway stations around the world. Brake particles have been identified as a significant contributor to these elevated levels. However, there is still limited research into the effect of the braking behaviour of trains on the emissions of brake wear particles. The present thesis examines the influe
I uppsatsen görs en neo-aristotelisk och en ideologikritisk analys på Jimmie Åkesson sommartal i Almedalen 2022. Jimmie Åkesson väljer topiker som överensstämmer med den nationalistiska ideologi han företräder. Invandrarfientlighet, kriminalitet, lag och ordning, omvärldskriser, är de vanligaste topikerna han använder i sitt tal. Han använder sig av de klassiska bevismedlen för att vinna publikens

This study explores the acceptance of wearable technology among the elderly, utilizing the Smart Wearable Acceptance Model (SWAM) developed by Li et al. (2019) as the theoretical framework. Through qualitative research methods, key factors influencing acceptance were identified, including perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, facilitating conditions, social influence, and self-reported heal
Apartheid ended in 1994, yet the effects of this system of institutionalised segregation is still felt today throughout South Africa. In contemporary Pretoria-Tshwane segregation is maintained on race-class basis, with large portions of the population rendered immobile beyond their home township. This stems from the transport poverty phenomenon wherein lack of accessible and affordable means of tr
Global investment decisions are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, and this study examines how firm-level practices toward sustainability have the potential to attract foreign ownership. Focusing on the Eastern European and Central Asian (EECA) region, the interaction between foreign direct investment (FDI) and sustainable management practices within the context of middle- to upper-middle-i
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka och hitta kompositionstekniker hur kontrabasen kan användas som ett melodiskt instrument. Jag genomförde kvalitativa intervjuer med två kompositörer om hur de har gått tillväga när de har komponerat musik för kontrabas. Efteråt gjorde jag en partituranalys av låtar respondenterna skrivit för att se hur de praktiskt utnyttjat det. Sedan använde jag deras sv
Gated communities är ett ovanligt boendekoncept i Sverige men har börjat få fotfäste i svensk stadsplanering. Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom en fallstudie undersöka varför Staffanstorps kommun väljer att initiera gated communities som en boendeform i sin stadsplanering, trots kritik från forskningen. Frågeställningarna som väglett studien är: vilka är de huvudsakliga drivkrafterna och faktoGated communities are an uncommon housing concept in Sweden but have begun to gain traction in Swedish urban planning. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate, through a case study, why the municipality of Staffanstorp chooses to initiate gated communities as a housing form in its urban planning, despite criticism from research. Through interviews, surveys, and document analysis, the study ha
In this thesis, the impact that sustainability ratings have on risk adjusted performance metrics such as the Sharpe and Treynor ratio will be evaluated. The authors employ the use of Morningstar's sustainability ratings, ranging from one to five “globes” in their measure of sustainability. An array of different types of funds will be used, these include equity, mutual, index and interest funds
