Interactive Data Analysis Of Multi-Run Performance Data, Vanessa Lama
Interactive Data Analysis Of Multi-Run Performance Data, Vanessa Lama
Masters Theses
Multi-dimensional performance data analysis presents challenges for programmers, and users. Developers have to choose library and compiler options for each platform, analyze raw performance data, and keep up with new technologies. Users run codes on different platforms, validate results with collaborators, and analyze performance data as applications scale up. Site operators use multiple profiling tools to optimize performance, requiring the analysis of multiple sources and data types. There is currently no comprehensive tool to support the structured analysis of unstructured data, when holistic performance data analysis can offer actionable insights and improve performance. In this work, we present thicket, a …
Carbon Metabolism In Cave Subaerial Biofilms, Victoria E. Frazier
Carbon Metabolism In Cave Subaerial Biofilms, Victoria E. Frazier
Masters Theses
Subaerial biofilms (SABs) grow at the interface between the atmosphere and rock surfaces in terrestrial and subterranean environments around the world. Multi-colored SABs colonizing relatively dry and nutrient-limited cave surfaces are known to contain microbes putatively involved in chemolithoautotrophic processes using inorganic carbon like carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4). However, the importance of CO2 and CH4 to SAB biomass production has not been quantified, the environmental conditions influencing biomass production and diversity have not been thoroughly evaluated, and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope compositions have yet to be determined from epigenic cave SABs. …
