Fixed Point Computation and Parallel Algorithms for Solving Wave Equations | This dissertation is concerned with two problems: fixed-point computation and parallel algorithms for solving wave equations. Many problems can be formulated as fixed-point problems, which is to solve the equations of the form f(x) - x = 0. We develop efficient algorithms and establish complexity re... | fixed point computation; parallel algorithm; fixed point envelope; fixed point ellipsoid; wave equation; processor array; transputer; linear array | 1994 |

Persistent Immutable Shared Abstractions for Concurrent Scheme | A write-once, read-many persistent store has been developed for Concurrent Scheme, a distributed-memory parallel Lisp for the Mayfly multicomputer. The prototype implementation supports the explicit store, and implicit retrieval, of instances of the Scheme data types. Items are stored into per node ... | concurrent scheme; lisp, mayfly; multicomputer; persistent store; ray tracer | 1994 |
