526 Ingebretsen, Robert BergstromLog spectral estimation for stationary and nonstationary processesThis research is concerned with two log spectral estimators in the context of both stationary and nonstationary signals. They differ because in one smoothing is realized before the logarithmic transformation, while the other is smoothed in the logarithimc domain. It is shown that for stationary sign...Log spectral estimation; Nonstationary processes; Log spectral estimators1975
527 Henderson, Thomas C.Logical behaviorsIn this paper we describe an approach to high-level multisensor integration in t h e context of an autonomous mobile robot.

528 Henderson, Thomas C.Logical sensor systemsMulti-sensor systems require a coherent and efficient treatment of the information provided by the various sensors. We propose a framework the Logical Sensor Specification System, in which the sensors can be abstractly defined in terms of computational processes operating on the output from other se...Logical sensor systems; Multi-sensor systems; Multisensor systems; Logical Sensor Specification System1984
529 Riloff, Ellen M.Looking under the hood: tools for diagnosing your question answering engineIn this paper we analyze two question answering tasks : the TREC-8 question answering task and a set of reading comprehension exams. First, we show that Q/A systems perform better when there are multiple answer opportunities per question. Next, we analyze common approaches to two subproblems: ter...TREC-8; Performance2001
530 Balasubramonian, RajeevLOT-ECC: LOcalized and tiered reliability mechanisms for commodity memory systemsMemory system reliability is a serious and growing concern in modern servers. Existing chipkill-level mem- ory protection mechanisms suffer from several draw- backs. They activate a large number of chips on ev- ery memory access - this increases energy consump- tion, and reduces performance due to t...2012-01-01
531 Brunvand, Erik L.Low latency self-timed flow-through FIFOsSelf-timed flow-through FIFOs are constructed easily using only a single C-element as control for each stage of the FIFO. Throughput can be very high in this type of FIFO as the communication required to send new data to the FIFO is local to only the first element of the FIFO. Circuit density can ...1995
532 Stoller, Leigh B.Low latency workstation cluster communications using sender-based protocolsThe use of workstations on a local area network to form scalable multicomputers has become quite common. A serious performance bottleneck in such "carpet clusters" is the communication protocol that is used to send data between nodes. We report on the design and implementation of a class of communic...Workstations; Scalable multicomputers; Sender-based; Communication protocols1996
533 Tinker, PeterManaging large address spaces effectively on the ButterflyThe BBN Butterfly? Parallel Processor is a commercially-available multiprocessor which uses a memory management strategy based on a segmentation of the available memory. Using all of the memory of the machine efficiently is difficult because of the need to change the memory mapping dynamically. This...BBN Butterfly Parallel Processor; Large address spaces1987
534 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. Data explor...VisTrails; Dataflows; Provenance management2006

In this survey, the authors give an overview of issues in managing XML data, discuss existing solutions, and outline the current technology's open problems and limitations.XDM2004-07
536 Johnson, Christopher R.Map3d: scientific visualization program for multichannel time series data on unstructured, three-dimensional meshes. program user's guideThere are many examples in biomedical research of recording time signals with multi-sensor arrays whose elements are arranged in irregular, three-dimensional grids [1, 2, 3, 4]. If the nodes in such arrays can be connected into "surfaces", it is possible to employ linear interpolation techniques to ...Map3D; Multi-sensor arrays; Scientific visualization; Multichannel time series data; Three-dimensional meshes1994
537 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshMAPPED: Predictive dynamic analysis tool for MPI applicationsAbstract-Formal dynamic analysis of MPI programs is critically important since conventional testing tools for message passing programs do not cover the space of possible non-deterministic communication matches, thus may miss bugs in the unexamined execution scenarios. While modern dynamic verificati...2012-01-01
538 Pascucci, ValerioMapping applications with collectives over sub-communicators on torus networksThe placement of tasks in a parallel application on specific nodes of a supercomputer can significantly impact performance. Traditionally, this task mapping has focused on reducing the distance between communicating tasks on the physical network. This minimizes the number of hops that point-to-point...2012-01-01
539 Parker, Steven G.Massively parallel software rendering for visualizing large-scale data setsFor some time, researchers have done production visualization almost exclusively using high-end graphics workstations. They routinely archived and analyzed the outputs of simulations running on massively parallel supercomputers. Generally, a feature extraction step and a geometric modeling step t...Parallel rendering; Volume rendering; Ray tracing; Isosurfacing2001
540 Hansen, Charles D.Massively parallel visualization: parallel renderingThis paper presents rendering algorithms, developed for massively parallel processors (MPPs), for polygonal, spheres, and volumetric data. The polygon algorithm uses a data parallel approach whereas the sphere and volume renderer use a MIMD approach. Implementations for these algorithms are presente...Parallel visualization; Parallel rendering; Massively parallel processors1995

542 Joshi, Sarang; Venkatasubramanian, SureshMatching shapes using the current distanceCurrent Distance: It was introduced by Vaillant and Glaunès as a way of comparing shapes (point sets, curves, surfaces). This distance measure is defined by viewing a shape as a linear operator on a k-form field, and constructing a (dual) norm on the space of shapes. Shape Matching: Given two s...
543 Davis, Alan L.Mathematical representation for VLSI arraysThis paper introduces a methodology for mapping algorithmic description into a concurrent implementation on silicon.

544 Baker, Jason; Hsieh, Wilson C.Maya: multiple-dispatch syntax extension in JavaWe have designed and implemented Maya, a version of Java that allows programmers to extend and reinterpret its syntax. Maya generalizes macro systems by treating grammar productions as generic functions, and semantic actions on productions as multimethods on the corresponding generic functions.

548 Parker, Steven G.Memory sharing for interactive ray tracing on clustersWe present recent results in the application of distributed shared memory to image parallel ray tracing on clusters. Image parallel rendering is traditionally limited to scenes that are small enough to be replicated in the memory of each node, because any processor may require access to any piece o...Ray tracing; Out-of-core rendering; Distributed shared memory; Cache miss reduction; Parallel rendering2005-02
549 Zhang, Lixin; Carter, JohnMemory system support for image processingProcessor speeds are increasing rapidly, but memory speeds are not keeping pace.
