1 Regehr, JohnPh.D. Proposal: hierarchical loadable schedulersThe 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
2 Shirley, Peter S.Natural image statistics for computer graphicsThe 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 image2001
3 Venkatasubramanian, SureshEfficient protocols for distributed classification and optimizationA 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
4 Henderson, Thomas C.; McMurtry, Patrick; Smith, Philip J.; Voth, Gregory Alan; Wight, Charles Albert; Pershing, David W.Simulating accidental fires and explosionsThe Center for the Simulation of Accidental Fires and Explosions at the University of Utah focuses on providing state-of-the-art, science-based tools for the numerical simulation of accidental fires and explosions, especially in the context of handling and storing highly flammable materials.Center for the Simulation of Accidental Fires and Explosions; PBX9501; HMX2000
5 Lindstrom, Gary E.Toward function-based distributed database systemsWe 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; applicative1982
6 Pascucci, ValerioVisualizing network traffic to understand the performance of massively parallel simulationsThe 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
7 Kessler, Robert R.Concurrent SchemeThis 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; Parallelism1990
8 Bedrov, Dmitro; Smith, Grant D.Equilibrium sampling of self-associating polymer solutions: a parallel selective tempering approachWe present a novel simulation algorithm based on tempering a fraction of relaxation-limiting interactions to accelerate the process of obtaining uncorrelated equilibrium configurations of self-associating polymer solutions. This approach consists of tempering (turning off) the attractive interactio...Equilibrium sampling; Self-associating systems; Parallel selective tempering2005
9 Henderson, Thomas C.Knowledge-based 2-D vision system synthesisA 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 system1987
10 Lenart, Joshua B.The Uinta Express pipeline: a comprehensive research report conducted by students enrolled in CvEEN 3100 technical communicationsThe Uinta Express Pipeline is a proposed common carrier pipeline which would transport waxy crude oil extracted from the Uinta Basin in northeastern Utah to area refineries in North Salt Lake City. The proposed project would consist of a 12-inch, buried, insulated, carbon steel pipeline supported by...Uinta Express pipeline; Feasibility study; Waxy crude oil; Environmental impact assessment2015-02
