	ABACUS - A Branch-And-CUt System
		ABACUS is a software system written in C++ that provides a framework for the implementation of branch-and-bound algorithms using linear programming relaxations.
		ABACUS allows the software developer to concentrate merely on the problem specific parts, i.e., the separation of cutting planes, column generation, and primal heuristics.
		ABACUS supports the Open Solver Interface (Osi) developed by the COIN-OR (COmputational INfrastructure for Operations Research) project which means that every solver supported by OSI can be used to solve the relaxations.

		This information allows the run-time system to rapidly identify functions that should be moved to reduce communication overheads or resource contention.
		The Abacus run-time system consists of (i) a migration and location-transparent invocation component; and (ii) a resource monitoring and management component, as shown in Figure 2.
		The first component is responsible for the creation of location-transparent references to mobile objects, for the redirection of method invocations in the face of object migrations, and for enacting object migrations.

	Abacus and the Right Brain
		Abacus students are found to be superior in the accuracy of their memory and the number of digits they are able to memorize when compared with non-abacus learners of the same age.
		This is because abacus students place numbers on the abacus image in their head as they mentally calculate with the abacus method.
		This tendency was shown when abacus students were given problems of computational estimation (such as an assignment where students were to pick the figure in the largest digit position of the answer).

		The Abacus production monitoring / data collection system for repetitive cycle manufacturing (injection molding, blow molding, stamping, etc.) has been created to provide the real time data organizations need to manage their operations, with a modest investment of time and money.
		With other production monitoring systems that collect all data at the host, if the host goes down (someone knocked the power cord out when walking by for example) no production is recorded until the host is put back on-line.
		Competing low cost production monitoring systems may look inexpensive on the surface, but very often they utilize an inefficient wiring system, usually referred to as the star configuration, which greatly increases wiring and installation costs by requiring a separate wire to be run from the host out to every machine.
