The actions in the graph are then refined such that refined actions can be directly mapped onto asynchronous circuit b... | Self-timed designs; hopCP; Hop Flow Graphs; Asynchronous circuit blocks; Action-blocks | 1993 |

Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh; Humphrey, Alan Parker; Derrick, Christopher Glade | An integration of dynamic MPI formal verification within eclipse PTP | Our research goals were to verify practical MPI programs for deadlocks, resource leaks, and assertion violations at the push of a button and be able to easily visualize the results. We also sought to integrate these capabilities with the Eclipse IDE via an Eclipse plug-in for the Parallel Tools Plat... | Verification; Graphical User Interfaces; Dynamic Interleaving Reduction; Message Passing; MPI; Multi-core; Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform; Trapeze Interactive Poster | 2010-03-15 |

Bruderlin, Beat | An interactive N-Dimensional constraint system | In this paper, we present a graph-based approach to geometric constraint solving. Geometric primitives (points, lines, circles, planes, etc.) possess intrinsic degrees of freedom in their embedding space. Constraints reduce the degrees of freedom of a set of objects. A constraint graph is created wi... | Geometric constraint solving | 1994 |

Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh | An interface aware guided search method for error-trace justification in large protocols | Many complex concurrent protocols that cannot be formally verified due to state explosion can often be formally verified by initially creating a collection of abstractions (overapproximations), and subsequently refining the overapproximated protocol in response to spurious counterexample traces. ... | Concurrent protocols; Verification; Error-trace justification | 2008 |

Sikorski, Kris | An interior ellipsoid algorithm for fixed points | We consider the problem of approximating fixed points of non-smooth contractive functions with using of the absolute error criterion. In [12] we proved that the upper bound on the number of function evaluations to compute ?-approximations is 0(n3(In 1/? + In 1/1-q +In n)) in the worst case, where ... | Ellipsoid algorithm; Contractive functions; Fixed points | 1998 |

Davis, Al | An introduction to asynchronous circuit design | The purpose of this monograph is to provide both an introduction to field of asynchronous digital circuit design and an overview of the practical state of the art in 1997. In the early days of digital circuit design, little distinction was made between synchronous and asynchronous circuits. However,... | Asynchronous circuit design | 1997 |

Regehr, John | An isotach implementation for myrinet | An isotach network provides strong guarantees about message delivery order. We show that an isotach network can be implemented efficiently entirely in software, using commercial o-the-shelf hardware. This report describes that effort. Parts of this implementation could be performed much more efficie... | | 1997-01-01 |

Carter, John B. | An O(1) time complexity software barrier | As network latency rapidly approaches thousands of processor cycles and multiprocessors systems become larger and larger, the primary factor in determining a barrier algorithm?s performance is the number of serialized network latencies it requires. All existing barrier algorithms require at least ... | Network latency; Barrier algorithm; Time complexity software barrier | 2004 |
