401 Zhang, ChengqiangHardware-only stream prediction + cache prefetching + dynamic access orderingThe speed gap between processors and memory system is becoming the performance bottleneck for many applications, and computations with strided access patterns are among those that suffer most. The vectors used in such applications lack temporal and often spatial locality, and are usually too large t...Speed gap; Stream prediction; Cache prefetching; Dynamic access ordering1999
402 Brunvand, Erik L.HDL modeling for analysis and optimization of asynchronous controllersWe propose a simulation-based technique for analysis and optimization of extended burst-mode (XBM) asynchronous controllers. In asynchronous controllers of this sort, timing information on control signals is significant both for performance enhancement and timing validation. Timing information, ...2005
403 Bhatia, Harsh; Jadhav, Shreeraj Digambar; Norgard, Greg; Bremer, Peer-Timo; Pascucci, ValerioHelmholtz-Hodge Decomposition of vector fields on 2-manifoldsA Morse-like Decomposition ? - Morse-Smale decomposition for gradient (of scalar) fields is an interesting way of decomposing the domain into regions of unidirectional flow (from a source to a sink ). - But works for gradient fields, which are conservative (irrotational), only. - Can such a de...
404 Regehr, JohnHelp, help, Im being suppressed the significance of suppressors in software testingAbstract-Test features are basic compositional units used to describe what a test does (and does not) involve. For example, in API-based testing, the most obvious features are function calls; in grammar-based testing, the obvious features are the elements of the grammar. The relationship between fea...2013-01-01
405 Cohen, ElaineHidden curve removal for free form surfacesThis paper describes a hidden curve algorithm specifically designed for sculptured surfaces. A technique is described to extract the visible curves for a given scene without the need to approximate the surface by polygons.

408 Weinstein, DavidHierarchical data structures for interactive volume visualizationIn order to interactively investigate large-scale 3D data sets, we propose an improved hierarchical data structure for structured grids and an original hierarchical d a t a structure for unstructured grids. These multi-tiered implementations allow the user to interactively control both the local and...Hierarchical data structures; Volume visualization; 3D data sets1995
409 Regehr, JohnHierarchical schedulers, performance guarantees, and resource managementAn attractive approach to scheduling applications with diverse CPU scheduling requirements is to use different schedulers for different applications. For example: real-time schedulers allow applications to perform computations before deadlines, time-sharing schedulers provide high throughput for com...1999-01-01
410 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshHigh level optimizations in compiling process descriptions to asynchronous circuitsAsynchronous/'Self-Timed designs are beginning to attract attention as promising means of dealing with the complexity of modern VLSI technology. In this paper, we present our views on why asynchronous systems matter. We then present details of our high level synthesis tool SHILPA that can automatic...Self-timed; VLSI1992
411 Frost, Richard L.High resolution astronomical imaging through the turbulent atmosphereThis research is principally concerned with the digital reconstruction of star images observed with large ground-based telescopes, although the techniques developed here will have application to a broad class of reconstruction problems. Since the work of Labeyrie, the difficulty in producing accurat...Astronomical imaging; Turbulent atmosphere; Digital reconstruction; Star images1979
412 Brunvand, Erik L. ; Gopalakrishnan, GaneshHigh-level asynchronous system design using the ACK frameworkDesigning asynchronous circuits is becoming easier as a number of design styles are making the transition from research projects to real, usable tools. However, designing asynchronous "systems" is still a difficult problem. We define asynchronous systems to be medium to large digital systems whose...2000
413 Henderson, Thomas C.High-level planning for dextrous manipulationThe development of mechanical end effectors capable of dextrous manipulation is a rapidly growing and quite successful field of research. It has in some sense put the focus on control issues, in particular, how to control these remarkably anthropomorphic manipulators to perform the deft movement tha...Mechanical end effectors; Dextrous manipulation1987
414 Kasera, Sneha K.; Patwari, NealHigh-rate uncorrelated bit extraction for shared secret key generation from channel measurementsSecret keys can be generated and shared between two wireless nodes by measuring and encoding radio channel characteristics without ever revealing the secret key to an eavesdropper at a third location. This paper addresses bit extraction, i.e., the extraction of secret key bits from noisy radio chan...Wireless networks; Multipath fading; Physical layer; Key generation; Secret keys; Bit extraction2010-01
415 Awate, Suyash P.; Whitaker, Ross T.Higher-order image statistics for unsupervised, information-theoretic, adaptive, image filteringThe restoration of images is an important and widely studied problem in computer vision and image processing. Various image filtering strategies have been effective, but invariably make strong assumptions about the properties of the signal and/or degradation. Therefore, these methods typically la...Image filtering; Image restoration2005-04-15
416 Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T.Higher-order nonlinear priors for surface reconstructionFor surface reconstruction problems with noisy and incomplete range data, a Bayesian estimation approach can improve the overall quality of the surfaces. The Bayesian approach to surface estimation relies on a likelihood term, which ties the surface estimate to the input data, and the prior, whic...Surface reconstruction; Bayesian approach; Nonlinear prior2002-12-09
417 Regehr, JohnHLS: a framework for composing soft real-time schedulersHierarchical CPU scheduling has emerged as a way to (1) support applications with diverse scheduling requirements in open systems, and (2) provide load isolation between applications, users, and other resource principals.

418 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshHOP: A formal model for synchronous circuits using communicating fundamental mode symbolic automataWe study synchronous digital circuits in an abstract setting. A circuit is viewed as a collection of modules connected through their boundary ports, where each port assumes a fixed direction (input or output) over one cycle of operation, and can change directions across cycles.
