201 Brunvand, Erik L.Precise exception handling for a self-timed processorSelf-timed systems structured as multiple concurrent processes and communicating through self-timed queues are a convenient way to implement decoupled computer architectures. Machines of this type can exploit instruction level parallelism in a natural way, and can be easily modified and extended...1995
202 Hansen, Charles D.Flow charts: visualization of vector fields on arbitrary surfacesWe introduce a novel flow visualization method called Flow Charts, which uses a texture atlas approach for the visualization of flows defined over curved surfaces. In this scheme, the surface and its associated flow are segmented into overlapping patches, which are then parameterized and packed in ...2008-09
203 Orr, Douglas B.OMOS - An object server for program executionThe benefits of object-oriented programming are well known, but popular operating systems provide very few object-oriented features to users, and few are implemented using object-oriented techniques themselves. In this paper we discuss a mechanism for applying object-oriented programming concepts to...OMOS; Object server1992
204 Davis, Alan L.Data driven nets: a maximally concurrent, procedural, parallel process representation for distributed control systemsA procedural parallel process representation, known as data-driven nets is described. The sequencing mechanism of the data-driven representation is based on the principle of data dependency. Operations are driven into action by the arrival of the required working set of input operands. Execution of ...Data driven nets1978
205 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
206 Henderson, Thomas C.Evolutionary teleomorphologyThe physical layout of organs and neural structures in biological systems is important to their functioning, and is the result of evolutionary selection forces. We believe this is true even at the individual neuron level, and should be accounted for in any bio-based approach. In particular, when tr...Evolutionary teleomorphology; Bio-based approach; Physical layout problem; PLP; Neurons; Nodes1995
207 Grodstein, JoelUser's manual for the sisyphus simulation environmentThis report describes how to create and simulate a design with Sisyphus. Inasmuch as Sisyphus is written in Symbolics-Lisp, some familiarity with both Lisp and with Symbolics computers is presumed. In addition, the concepts presented here presume an acquaintance with [3]. First, a disclaimer ? this...Sisyphus; Simulation environment; Symbolics-Lisp; Symbolics computers1986
208 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshPeephole optimization of asynchronous networks through process composition and burst-mode machine generationIn this paper we discuss the problem of improving the e ciency of macromodule networks generated through asynchronous high level synthesis We compose the behaviors of the modules in the sub network being optimized using Dill s trace theoretic operators to get a single behavioral description for ...Macromodule networks; Peephole; Asynchronous networks1993
209 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshVerifying a virtual component interface-based PCI bus wrapper using an LSC-based specificationBecause of the high stakes involved in integrating externally developed intellectual property (IP) cores used in System on Chip (SOC) designs, methods and tool support for quick, easy, decisive standard compliance verification must be developed. Such methods and tools include formal standard spec...System on Chip; SOC; Verification; PCI bus wrapper; LSC2002-01-22
210 Balasubramonian, RajeevMicroarchitectural techniques to reduce interconnect power in clustered processorsThe paper presents a preliminary evaluation of novel techniques that address a growing problem - power dissipation in on-chip interconnects. Recent studies have shown that around 50% of the dynamic power consumption in modern processors is within on-chip interconnects. The contribution of interc...Microarchitectural techniques; Interconnect power; Clustered processors; On-chip2004
211 Riloff, Ellen M.Exploiting strong syntactic heuristics and co-training to learn semantic lexiconsWe present a bootstrapping method that uses strong syntactic heuristics to learn semantic lexicons. The three sources of information are appositives, compound nouns, and ISA clauses. We apply heuristics to these syntactic structures, embed them in a bootstrapping architecture, and combine them with...Syntactic heuristics; Semantic lexicons; Bootstrapping method; Appositives; Compound nouns; ISA clauses; Co-training2002
212 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
213 Weinstein, DavidCache-rings for memory efficient isosurface constructionProcessor speeds continue to increase at faster rates than memory speeds. As this performance gap widens, it becomes increasingly important to develop "memory-conscious" algorithms - programs that still optimize instruction count and algorithmic complexity, but that also integrate optimizations for ...Processor speeds; Memory speeds; Computer memory; Cache-rings1997
214 Lindstrom, Gary E.Using a functional language and graph reduction to program multiprocessor machines or functional control of imperative programsThis paper describes an effective means for programming shared memory multiprocessors whereby a set of sequential activities are linked together for execution in parallel. The glue for this linkage is provided by a functional language implemented via graph reduction and demand evaluation. The full ...shared memory multiprocessors; Programming; functional language; graph reduction; Demand evaluation1991
215 Balasubramonian, RajeevCHOP: adaptive filter-based DRAM caching for CMP server platformsAs manycore architectures enable a large number of cores on the die, a key challenge that emerges is the availability of memory bandwidth with conventional DRAM solutions. To address this challenge, integration of large DRAM caches that provide as much as 5× higher bandwidth and as low as 1/3rd of...CHOP; DRAM caching; CMP server platforms; Manycore architectures; Hot page; Filter cache; Multi-core processors2010
216 Sobh, Tarek M.; Henderson, Thomas C.A dynamic recursive structure for intelligent explorationWe suggest a new approach for inspection and reverse engineering applications. In particular, we investigate the use of discrete event dynamic systems (DEDS) to guide and control the active exploration and sensing of mechanical parts for industrial inspection and reverse engineering.

219 Balasubramonian, RajeevDynamic hardware-assisted software-controlled page placement to manage capacity allocation and sharing within large cachesIn future multi-cores, large amounts of delay and power will be spent accessing data in large L2/L3 caches. It has been recently shown that OS-based page coloring allows a non-uniform cache architecture (NUCA) to provide low latencies and not be hindered by complex data search mechanisms.
