Parallelizing Scale Invariant Feature Transform On A Distributed Memory Cluster, Stanislav Bobovych Jan 2011

Parallelizing Scale Invariant Feature Transform On A Distributed Memory Cluster, Stanislav Bobovych

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal

Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is a computer vision algorithm that is widely-used to extract features from images. We explored accelerating an existing implementation of this algorithm with message passing in order to analyze large data sets. We successfully tested two approaches to data decomposition in order to parallelize SIFT on a distributed memory cluster.


A Comparative Evaluation Of .Net Remoting And Java Rmi, Taneem Ibrahim Jan 2004

A Comparative Evaluation Of .Net Remoting And Java Rmi, Taneem Ibrahim

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal

Distributed application technologies such as Micrososoft.NET Remoting, and Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) have evolved over many years to keep up with the constantly increasing requirements of the enterprise. In the broadest sense, a distributed application is one in which the application processing is divided among two or more machines. Distributed middleware technologies have made significant progress over the last decade. Although Remoting and RMI are the two of most popular contemporary middleware technologies, little literature exists that compares them. In this paper, we study the issues involved in designing a distributed system using Java RMI and Microsoft.NET Remoting. In …


Analysis Of Wireless Networking On The University Of Arkansas Campus, Julia Lincoln Jan 2000

Analysis Of Wireless Networking On The University Of Arkansas Campus, Julia Lincoln

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal

Wireless communication has already begun to change the way business and research is done today. Development of the wireless network for digital cellular phone has already improved the area of voice communications. The area of portable and mobile connectivity for computers and other devices is beginning to emerge. The research analyzes and compares a few of these wireless networks. Physical aspects such as range, interference factors, and frequency capabilities and restrictions are assessed. Capacity analysis including round trip times, latency, and throughput are done as well. Issues of authentication and addressing protocols are researched to determine optimal performance and convenience …
