Tree Structured Grobner Basis Computation On Parallel Machines, Hemal V. Shah, Jose A. B. Fortes Oct 1994

Tree Structured Grobner Basis Computation On Parallel Machines, Hemal V. Shah, Jose A. B. Fortes

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

With the advent of symbolic mathematical software packages such as Maple, Mathematics, and Macsyma, symbolic computation has become widely used in many scientific applications. Though a significant effort has been put in performing numeric computation on multiprocessors, symbolic computation on parallel machines is still in an unexplored state. However, symbolic mathematical applications are ideal candidates for parallel processing, because they are computationally intensive. This paper considers the parallel computation of Grobner basis, a special basis for a multivariate polynomial ideal over a field that plays a key role in symbolic computation. Large Grobner basis computation poses a challenging problem due …


A Simd Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication Algorithm For Computational Electromagnetics And Scattering Matrix Models, Nirav Harish Kapadia Oct 1994

A Simd Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication Algorithm For Computational Electromagnetics And Scattering Matrix Models, Nirav Harish Kapadia

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

A large number of problems in numerical analysis require the multiplication of a sparse matrix by a vector. In spite of the large amount of fine-grained parallelism available in the process of sparse matrix-vector multiplication, it is difficult to design an algorithm for distributed memory SIMD computers that can efficiently multiply an arbitrary sparse matrix by a vector. The difficulty lies in the irregular nature of the data structures required to efficiently store arbitrary sparse matrices, and the architectural constraints of a SIMD computer. We propose a new algorithm that allows the "regularity" of a data structure that uses a …


Modeling Of Growth Rates Of Selective Epitaxial Growth (Seg) And Epitaxial Lateral Overgrowth (Elo) Of Silicon In The Sih2cl2-Hcl-H2 System, Poonacha P. Kongetira, Gerold W. Neudeck, John P. Denton Oct 1994

Modeling Of Growth Rates Of Selective Epitaxial Growth (Seg) And Epitaxial Lateral Overgrowth (Elo) Of Silicon In The Sih2cl2-Hcl-H2 System, Poonacha P. Kongetira, Gerold W. Neudeck, John P. Denton

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

A semi-empirical model for the growth rate of selective epitaxial silicon(SEG) in the Dichlorosilane-HC1-Hz system that represents the experimenltal data has been presented. All epitaxy runs were done using a Gemini-I LPCVD pancake reactor. Dichlorosilane was used as the source gas and hydrogen as the carrier gas. Hydrogen Cllloride(HC1) was used to ensure that no nucleation took place on the oxide. The growth rate expression was considered to be the sum of a growth term dependent on the partial pressures of Dichlorosilane and hydrogen, and an etch berm that varies as the partial pressure of HC1. The growth and etch …

Scheduling A Superscalar Pipelined Processor Without Hardware Interlocks, Heng-Yi Chao, Mary P. Harper Sep 1994

Scheduling A Superscalar Pipelined Processor Without Hardware Interlocks, Heng-Yi Chao, Mary P. Harper

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling a set of instructions on a single processor with multiple pipelined functional units. In a superscalar processor, the hardware can issue multiple instructions every cycle, providing a fine-grained parallelism for achieving order-ofmagnitude speed-ups. It is well known that the problem of scheduling a pipelined processor with uniform latencies, which is a subclass of the problem we consider here, belongs to the class of NP-Complete problems. We present an efficient lower bound algorithm that coniputes a tight lower bound on the length of an optimal schedule, and a new heuristic scheduling algorithm …


Resonant Tunneling Through Quantum Dot Arrays, Guanlong Chen, Gerhard Klimeck, Supriyo Datta, Guanhua Chen, William A. Goddard Iii Sep 1994

Resonant Tunneling Through Quantum Dot Arrays, Guanlong Chen, Gerhard Klimeck, Supriyo Datta, Guanhua Chen, William A. Goddard Iii

Birck and NCN Publications

We apply the Hubbard Hamiltonian to describe quantum-dot arrays weakly coupled to two contacts. Exact diagonalization is used to calculate the eigenstates of the arrays containing up to six dots and the linear-response conductance is then calculated as a function of the Fermi energy. In the atomic limit the conductance peaks form two distinct groups separated by the intradot Coulomb repulsion, while in the band limit the peaks occur in pairs. The crossover is studied. A finite interdot repulsion is found to cause interesting rearrangements in the conductance spectrum.

The Impact Of Electronic Ballast Compact Fluorescent Lighting On Power Distribution Systems, Reid Iwao Sasaki Sep 1994

The Impact Of Electronic Ballast Compact Fluorescent Lighting On Power Distribution Systems, Reid Iwao Sasaki

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Due to the high costs of expanding generation and transmission capacities, utilities have been initiating programs to reduce peak power demand by the customer. A number of these programs, which are commonly referred to as demand side management programs, have turned to the promotion of electronic ballast compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) as an alternative to traditional incandescent lamps. These lamps provide a higher luminance and increased life as compared to their incandescent counterparts. Unfortunately, electronic ballast CFLs consume large amounts of harmonic current which may prove detrimental to the power distribution system. This thesis presents an introduction to the electronic …
