Functions Returning Values Of Dynamic Size, Mark Sherman, Andy Hisgen, Jonathan Rosenberg, David Alex Lamb Mar 1986

Functions Returning Values Of Dynamic Size, Mark Sherman, Andy Hisgen, Jonathan Rosenberg, David Alex Lamb

Computer Science Technical Reports

Modern programming languages, such as Ada (Ichbiah 80), permit the definition of functions that return values whose size can not be determined until the function returns. This paper discusses five implementation techniques that can be used to implement this capability. Comparisons of the techniques are provided and guidelines for selecting a particular technique for a compiler are given.

Show And Tell User's Manual, Peter Mclain, Takayuki Dan Kimura Mar 1986

Show And Tell User's Manual, Peter Mclain, Takayuki Dan Kimura

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

The purpose of this report is to introduce essential features of the Show and Tell Language system to those computer users who are already familiar with some high-level programming language such as FORTRAN, BASIC or PASCAL. This manual is not intended for school children. Some familiarity with the Macintosh user interface and the MacPaint application program is assumed. It is also assumed that the Show and Tell application program disk and the Sample program are available to the reader. The basic programming concepts in Show and Tell are introduced in Chapter Three. The reader may find it easer to start …


A Systolic Parsing Algorithm For A Visual Programming Language, Adam W. Bojanczyk, Takayuki Dan Kimura Mar 1986

A Systolic Parsing Algorithm For A Visual Programming Language, Adam W. Bojanczyk, Takayuki Dan Kimura

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

In this paper we consider a problem of parsing a two-dimensional visual programming language Show and Tell on a two-dimensional array of processors. A program in Show and Tell is a bit-mapped, two-dimensional pattern satisfying a certain set of grammatical rules. The pattern consists of partially ordered set of rectilinear boxes and arrows distributed over the space of nxn pixel area. The corresponding directed graph, the box graph, where boxes are nodes and arrows are directed edges, may not have a cycle in a Show and Tell program. The cycle detection is the most computationally intensive stage of the parsing …

Computing The Largest Empty Rectangle, B. Chazelle, R. L. Drysdale, D. T. Lee Feb 1986

Computing The Largest Empty Rectangle, B. Chazelle, R. L. Drysdale, D. T. Lee

Dartmouth Scholarship

We consider the following problem: Given a rectangle containing N points, find the largest area subrectangle with sides parallel to those of the original rectangle which contains none of the given points. If the rectangle is a piece of fabric or sheet metal and the points are flaws, this problem is finding the largest-area rectangular piece which can be salvaged. A previously known result [13] takes $O(N^2 )$ worst-case and $O(N\log ^2 N)$ expected time. This paper presents an $O(N\log ^3 N)$ time, $O(N\log N)$ space algorithm to solve this problem. It uses a divide-and-conquer approach similar to the ones …

Alphabetic Minimax Trees Of Degree At Most T*, D. Coppersmith, Maria M. Klawe, Nicholas Pippenger Jan 1986

Alphabetic Minimax Trees Of Degree At Most T*, D. Coppersmith, Maria M. Klawe, Nicholas Pippenger

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

Problems in circuit fan-out reduction motivate the study of constructing various types of weighted trees that are optimal with respect to maximum weighted path length. An upper bound on the maximum weighted path length and an efficient construction algorithm will be presented for trees of degree at most t, along with their implications for circuit fan-out reduction.


Lsim User Manual, Roger D. Chamberlain Jan 1986

Lsim User Manual, Roger D. Chamberlain

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Lsim is a gate/switch level digital logic similar. It enables users to model digital circuits both at the gate and switch level and incorporates features that support investigation of the simulation task itself. This user's manual describes the procedures used to specify a circuit to lsim and control the simulation of the circuit (i.e., specifying inputs vectors, running the simulation, and monitoring output signals).

A Practical, Distributed Environment For Macintosh Software Development, Mark Sherman, Ann Marks, Rob Collins, Heather Anderson, Jerry Godes, Denis Devlin, Leonid Spector, Vivian Sewelson

Computer Science Technical Reports

We describe a development environment we created for prototyping software for the Macintosh. The programs are developed and executed on a large time-shared computer but can use the full facilities of the Macintosh. By using this system, we combine the advantages of the large system, such as large amounts of disk storage and automatic file backups, with the advantages of the Macintosh, such as advanced graphics, mouse control and sound synthesis. We also describe several projects that used the distributed development system. We conclude with a description of our future plans for this environment.
