Regehr, John | Ph.D. Proposal: hierarchical loadable schedulers | The processors in workstations, personal computers, and servers are becoming increasingly powerful, enabling them to run new kinds of applications, and to simultaneously run combinations of applications that were previously infeasible. However, fast hardware is not enough-the operating system must e... | | 1999-01-01 |

Shirley, Peter S. | Natural image statistics for computer graphics | The class of all natural images is an infinitely small fraction of all possible images. The structure of natural images can be statistically modeled, revealing striking regularities. The human visual system appears to be optimized to view natural images, as opposed to any possible image, and therefo... | Natural image | 2001 |

Venkatasubramanian, Suresh | Efficient protocols for distributed classification and optimization | A recent paper [1] proposes a general model for distributed learning that bounds the communication required for learning classifiers with e error on linearly separable data adversarially distributed across nodes. In this work, we develop key improvements and extensions to this basic model. Our first... | | 2012-01-01 |

Lindstrom, Gary E. | Toward function-based distributed database systems | We discuss the suitability of a function-based (or "applicative") approach to the construction of distributed database systems. Certain aspects of applicative systems are immediatley appealing for this purpose (e.g. data oriented toward conceptual objects rather than toward particular representation... | Function-based; distributed database systems; applicative | 1982 |

Pascucci, Valerio | Visualizing network traffic to understand the performance of massively parallel simulations | The performance of massively parallel applications is often heavily impacted by the cost of communication among compute nodes. However, determining how to best use the network is a formidable task, made challenging by the ever increasing size and complexity of modern supercomputers. This paper appli... | | 2012-01-01 |

Kessler, Robert R. | Concurrent Scheme | This paper describes an evolution of the Scheme language to support parallelism with tight coupling of control and data. Mechanisms are presented to address the difficult and related problems of mutual exclusion and data sharing which arise in concurrent language systems. The mechanisms are tailored... | Concurrent Scheme; Parallelism | 1990 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Knowledge-based 2-D vision system synthesis | A knowledge-based approach to computer vision provides the needed flexibility for performing recognition and inspection of objects in a complex environment. A system is described which uses knowledge about the environment, sensors, and performance requirements to construct a functional configuratio... | 2-D vision system | 1987 |
