Second, it supports prefetching at the memory controller. ...ISIM; Impulse Adaptable Memory System; Memory systems1999
129 Stoller, Leigh B.Message passing support in the Avalanche widgetMinimizing communication latency in message passing multiprocessing systems is critical. An emerging problem in these systems is the latency contribution costs caused by the need to percolate the message through the memory hierarchy (at both sending and receiving nodes) and the additional cost of ma...Avalanche widget; Message passing; Cache coherence; Message copying; Cache miss rates; Computer memory1996
130 Berzins, MartinAdaptive high-order discontinuous galerkin solution of elastohydrodynamic lubrication point contact problemsThis paper describes an adaptive implementation of a high order Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for the solution of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) point contact problems.

131 Hansen, Charles D.Boundary aware reconstruction of scalar fieldsIn visualization, the combined role of data reconstruction and its classification plays a crucial role. In this paper we propose a novel approach that improves classification of different materials and their boundaries by combining information from the classifiers at the reconstruction stage. Our ap...2014-01-01
132 Lindstrom, Gary E.Migrating relational data to an OODB: strategies and lessions from a molecular biology experienceThe growing maturity of OODB technology is causing many enterprises to consider migrating relational databases to OODBs. While data remapping is relatively straightforward, greater challenges lie in economically and non-invasively adapting legacy application software. We report on a genetics labora...OODB; Relational data; Data migration1997
133 Beazley, David. M.A wrapper generation tool for the creation of scriptable scientific applicationsIn recent years, there has been considerable interest in the use of scripting languages as a mechanism for controlling and developing scientific software. Scripting languages allow scientific applications to be encapsulated in an interpreted environment similar to that found in commercial scientific...1998

135 Li, Guodong; Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh; Kirby, Robert Michael IIFormal specification of MPI 2.0: case study in specifying a practical concurrent programming APIWe describe the rst formal speci cation of a non-trivial subset of MPI, the dominant communication API in high performance computing. Engineering a formal speci cation for a non-trivial concurrency API requires the right combination of rigor, executability, and traceability, while also serving a...MPI 2.02009
136 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
137 Fujimoto, Richard M.Performance measurements of distributed simulation strategiesA multiprocessor-based, distributed simulation testbed is described that facilitates controlled experimentation with distributed simulation algorithms. The performance of simulation strategies using deadlock avoidance and deadlock detection and recovery techniques are examined using various syntheti...Performance; Distributed simulation; Discrete simulation; Event-oriented; Queueing models1987
138 Creem-Regehr, Sarah Hope; Willemsen, Peter; Gooch, Amy A.; Thompson, William B.The influence of restricted viewing conditions on egocentric distance perception: implications for real and virtual environmentsThree experiments examined the influence of field of view and binocular viewing restrictions on absolute distance perception in the real world. Previous work has found that visually directed walking tasks reveal accurate distance estimations in full-cue, real world environments to distances of ab...Distance perception; Egocentric2003-08-29
139 Fujimoto, Richard M.Optimal performance of distributed simulation programsThis paper describes a technique to analyze the potential speedup of distributed simulation programs. A distributed simulation strategy is proposed which minimizes execution time through the use of an oracle to control the simulation. Because the strategy relies on an oracle, it cannot be used for ...Distributed simulation programs1987
140 Davis, AlAn introduction to asynchronous circuit designThe 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 design1997
141 Keller, Robert M.Denotational models for parallel programs with indeterminate operatorsSeveral approaches to networks of concurrently-operating modules involving indeterminacy are discussed.

144 Hansen, Charles D.Reconstruction and visualization of planetary nebulaeAbstract-From our terrestrially confined viewpoint, the actual three-dimensional shape of distant astronomical objects is, in general, very challenging to determine.

145 Hansen, Charles D.Proxy chain method and its application to scientific visualizationWe present a method for combining multiple point-based constraints in haptic programming environments. Instead of using a single proxy point for haptic feedback, the method maintains a separate proxy for each constraint. The reaction force is computed by linking the proxies in a chain. Constraints a...2006
