1 Balasubramonian, RajeevThe effect of interconnect design on the performance of large L2 cachesThe ever increasing sizes of on-chip caches and the growing domination of wire delay have changed the traditional design approach of the memory hierarchy. Many recent proposals advocate splitting the cache into a large number of banks and employ an on-chip network to allow fast access to nearby ban...2006
2 Brunvand, Erik L.Estimating performance of an ray- tracing ASIC designRecursive ray tracing is a powerful rendering technique used to compute realistic images by simulating the global light transport in a scene. Algorithmic improvements and FPGA-based hardware implementations of ray tracing have demonstrated realtime performance but hardware that achieves performance ...2006
3 Balasubramonian, RajeevExploiting eager register release in a redundantly multi-threaded processorDue to shrinking transistor sizes and lower supply voltages, transient faults (soft errors) in computer systems are projected to increase by orders of magnitude. Fault detection and recovery can be achieved through redundancy. Redundant multithreading (RMT) is one attractive approach to detect and r...Transient faults; Soft errors; Redundant multithreading; Eager register release; Register file design2006
4 Balasubramonian, RajeevExploring the design space for 3D clustered architectures3D die-stacked chips are emerging as intriguing prospects for the future because of their ability to reduce on-chip wire delays and power consumption. However, they will likely cause an increase in chip operating temperature, which is already a major bottleneck in modern microprocessor design. We...2006
5 Riloff, Ellen M.Feature subsumption for opinion analysisLexical features are key to many approaches to sentiment analysis and opinion detection. A variety of representations have been used, including single words, multi-word Ngrams, phrases, and lexicosyntactic patterns. In this paper, we use a subsumption hierarchy to formally define different types o...Feature subsumption; Sentiment analysis; Opinion detection; Subsumption hierarchy2006
6 Balasubramonian, RajeevFirst-order analysis of power overheads of redundant multi-threadingRedundant multi-threading (RMT) has been proposed as an architectural approach that efficiently detects and recovers from soft errors. RMT can impose non-trivial overheads in terms of power consumption. In this paper, we characterize some of the major factors that influence the power consumed by R...Redundant multi-threading; RMT; Soft errors; Power overheads; Power consumption2006
7 Hansen, Charles D.GPUFLIC: interactive and accurate dense visualization of unsteady flowsAbstract The paper presents an efficient and accurate implementation of Unsteady Flow LIC (UFLIC) on the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). We obtain the same, high quality texture representation of unsteady two-dimensional flows as the original, time-consuming method but leverage the features of today...2006
8 Freire, JulianaIntegrated scientific workflow management for the Emulab network testbedThe main forces that shaped current network testbeds were the needs for realism and scale. Now that several testbeds support large and complex experiments, management of experimentation processes and results has become more difficult and a barrier to high-quality systems research. The popularity o...Workflow management; Data exploration; Emulab; Network testbeds2006
9 Parker, Steven G.Integrating component-based scientific computing softwareIn recent years, component technology has been a successful methodology for large-scale commercial software development. Component technology combines a set of frequently used functions in a component and makes the implementation transparent to users. Software application developers typically conne...SCIRun; BioPSE; Component technology; Computational steering; Problem solving environment; Distributed computing2006
10 Balasubramonian, RajeevInterconnect-aware coherence protocols for chip multiprocessorsImprovements in semiconductor technology have made it possible to include multiple processor cores on a single die. Chip Multi-Processors (CMP) are an attractive choice for future billion transistor architectures due to their low design complexity, high clock frequency, and high throughput. In a...Interconnects; Chip multiprocessors; Coherence2006
11 Hansen, Charles D.Knowledge-based out-of-core algorithms for data management in visualizationData management is the very first issue in handling very large datasets. Many existing out-of-core algorithms used in visualization are closely coupled with application-specific logic. This paper presents two knowledgebased out-of-core prefetching algorithms that do not use hard-coded rendering-re...2006
12 Riloff, Ellen M.Learning domain-specific information extraction patterns from the webMany information extraction (IE) systems rely on manually annotated training data to learn patterns or rules for extracting information about events. Manually annotating data is expensive, however, and a new data set must be annotated for each domain. So most IE training sets are relatively small. C...Information extraction; Domain-specific; Annotated training sets; MUC-42006
13 Balasubramonian, RajeevLeveraging bloom filters for smart search within NUCA cachesOn-chip wire delays are becoming increasingly problematic in modern microprocessors. To alleviate the negative effect of wire delays, architects have considered splitting up large L2/L3 caches into several banks, with each bank having a different access latency depending on its physical proximit...Bloom filters; Smart search; NUCA caches; Wire delays; On-chip2006
14 Freire, Juliana; Silva, Claudio T.Managing the evolution of dataflows with VisTrailsScientists are now faced with an incredible volume of data to analyze. To successfully analyze and validate various hypotheses, it is necessary to pose several queries, correlate disparate data, and create insightful visualizations of both the simulated processes and observed phenomena.

16 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshPredicate abstraction for MurphiPredicate abstraction is a technique used to prove properties in a finite or infinite state system. It employs decision procedures to abstract a concrete state system into a finite state abstraction system, which will then be model checked and refined. In this paper, we present an approach for im...Predicate abstraction; Murphi2006
17 Hansen, Charles D.Proxy chain method and its application to scientific visualizationWe present a method for combining multiple point-based constraints in haptic programming environments. Instead of using a single proxy point for haptic feedback, the method maintains a separate proxy for each constraint. The reaction force is computed by linking the proxies in a chain. Constraints a...2006
18 Balasubramonian, RajeevRe-visiting the performance impact of microarchitectural floorplanningThe placement of microarchitectural blocks on a die can significantly impact operating temperature.
