New Topologies And Parallel Algorithms For Static Interconnection Networks., Srabani Sen Gupta Dr. Dec 1997

New Topologies And Parallel Algorithms For Static Interconnection Networks., Srabani Sen Gupta Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Many real-life applications in the areas of signal processing, image processing, etc., require a large amount of fast computations to be performed. Although high speed powerful processors are currently available due to the phenomenal advances in VLSI technology, the increasing demand for massive real-time computations can not be met just by a uniprocessor system. One way of achieving the goal of fast computation is through parallel processing. In parallel processing, a problem is broken into several subproblems, which are distributed among different processors so that each of the processors can perform its task simultaneously. Main areas of recent research in …


Technologies For Ubiquitous Supercomputing: A Java Interface To The Nexus Communication System, Ian Foster, George K. Thiruvathukal, Steven Tuecke Jun 1997

Technologies For Ubiquitous Supercomputing: A Java Interface To The Nexus Communication System, Ian Foster, George K. Thiruvathukal, Steven Tuecke

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

We use the term ubiquitous supercomputing to refer to systems that integrate low- and mid-range computing systems, advanced networks and remote high-end computers with the goal of enhancing the computational power accessible from local environments. Such systems promise to enable new applications in areas as diverse as smart instruments and collaborative environments. However, they also demand tools for transporting code between computers and for establishing flexible, dynamic communication structures. In this article, we propose that these requirements be satisfied by introducing Java classes that implement the global pointer and remote service request mechanisms defined by a communication library called Nexus. …


On Cvt Minimization In Single Machine Scheduling., D. K. Manna Dr. Feb 1997

On Cvt Minimization In Single Machine Scheduling., D. K. Manna Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Scheduling problens are quite common in real life. They arise whenever there is a need to plan execution of various tasks over time and therefore they play very important roles in commercial set-ups concerning manufacturing or service in the optimal use of resources and/or customers satisfaction. The theory of scheduling deals with the construction of suitable models and their analyses. Researchersattention was drawn to the study of scheduling problems using mathematical modeling, probably for the first time when Johnson (1954] published his famous work on flowshop problem. Since then, the study of scheduling problem and its context has gradually attracted …


Just Which Reality Do You Mean? Users' Experiences Of Virtual Spaces, Woodrow Heath Pollack Jan 1997

Just Which Reality Do You Mean? Users' Experiences Of Virtual Spaces, Woodrow Heath Pollack

Senior Scholar Papers

Virtual Reality is a relatively new technology in the relatively young field of computer science. The design of Virtual Reality has only recently come into discussion, as well as the implications for this sort of design. I hope to determine how a user can work most efficiently and accurately in a Virtual World. By studying this, I hope to help in the standardization of Virtual Reality design.


An Approach To Display Layout Of Dynamic Windows, Nihar Trivedi Jan 1997

An Approach To Display Layout Of Dynamic Windows, Nihar Trivedi

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

The development of windows based user interface has introduced a new dimension to the field of human computer interaction. Now a user is able to perform multiple tasks at a time, often switching from one task to another. However windows environment also imposes the burden of manual windows management on the user. Several studies have suggested that manual window management is an unproductive chore often resulting in clutter and confusion on the display screen. Therefore we need a automatic windows layout generator to free the user to perform other useful tasks. This thesis introduces SPORDAC {Shadow Propagation for Overlap Removal …
