1076 Regehr, JohnLock inference for systems softwareWe have developed task scheduler logic (TSL) to automate reasoning about scheduling and concurrency in systems software. TSL can detect race conditions and other errors as well as supporting lock inference: the derivation of an appropriate lock implementation for each critical section in a system. L...2003-01-01
1077 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
1078 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.

1083 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
1084 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
1085 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
1086 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
1087 Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Sadwick, Laurence P.Low pressure pyrolysis of alternate phosphorus precursors for chemical beam epitaxial growth of InP and related compoundsThe most widely used phosphorous source in chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) is phosphine (PH3). However, because it is highly toxic, alternatives to phosphine have been sought for the growth of phosphorous-containing compounds. We have investigated the pyrolysis rates and reaction products, in low pres...Chemical Beam Epitaxy; CBE1994
