THEORY SEMINAR

                    -Wednesday, September 16, 1992

Prof. J. Ian Munro, Dept. Comp. Sci., Univ. of Waterloo
will  speak  on  "Heapsort,  Kolmogorov,  Multisets and
   5
log n"

TIME:                 1:30-2:30 p.m.

ROOM:                 DC 1304

ABSTRACT

Heapsort has been a well known and heavily used sorting
technique for thirty years.

However, the constant of proportionality in its average
case  run-time,  and  indeed  worst-case  run-time, was
unknown  until  recently.   In this talk we will give a
very simple proof that the original, Williams', version
of  heapsort  uses 2nlogn+O(n) comparisons, and Floyd's
modification uses nlogn+O(n) comparisons in the average
case.   Attention  will  turn  to a version of heapsort
that  is within O(n) comparisons of optimal for sorting
multisets  and  vectors.   Finally,  a  version will be
presented that is within O(n) comparisons of optimal in
the worst case, and uses nlogn-omega(n) data moves.

Some  of  the  work reported is joint with, or that of,
Russel  Schaffer,  Robert  Sedgewick,  Venkatesh Raman,
Paul  Dietz,  and  a cast of thousands.  Most of it was
done  while  the  author  was  on  leave  at  Princeton
University   and   at  the  Max  Planck  Institute  for
Informatik.

             "A Case for Superpipelined Vector Architectures"

Computer architects have recently predicted the imminent demise of vector
architectures.  This prediction is based on the beliefs that implementing a
vector architecture implies high cost and that its applicability to only
science and engineering programs prevents a vector architecture from
improving the performance of a more general-purpose workload that would be
executed on a workstation.  These beliefs have caused many VLSI designers
to abandon this class of proven high-performance architectures for the
lesser-established class of superscalar architectures.  Superscalar
proponents claim that their architectures provide a better cost/performance
design because of lower implementation costs and wider applicability.

In this talk, I examine these claims of better performance and lower cost
architectures is not much wider than vector architectures and that a
combined vector and superpipelined architecture can support the same types
of parallelism supported by a superscalar architecture.  I also explain how
the implementation cost of a superpipelined vector architecture can be
comparable to or even less than that of a superscalar one.

Teaching".   This special "teacher-training" colloquium is intended pri-

Dept. of Mathematical Sciences, Loughborough University of Technology, England

               "Numerical Quadrature of Singular Integrands"

In the last decade, research on numerical quadrature has concentrated on
three areas for which general purpose rules such as Gaussian rules,
Clenshaw-Curtis rules and Patterson quadrature cannot deliver accurate
results in a reasonable time. These areas are oscillatory quadratures,
singular quadratures, and the large field of multiple quadrature problems.

The easiest rule for singular problems is coined `ignoring the singularity'
and employs an open rule directly with asscociated loss of convergence. The
second family of rules has been termed `creeping up on the singularity' and
is based on forming sequences which converge to the integral. Sequence
acccelerators are employed to enhance the speed of the process. The third
group of methods uses transformations (many from the Japanese workers)
which have two effects. Firstly they smooth the integrand and take out the
singularity.  Conventional methods may then be applied. Secondly some of
these transformations have vanishing end point derivatives, and hence the
Euler-MacClaurin summation formula implies that the trapezoidal rule will
have higher than expected accuracy, and might be employed on the
transformed quadrature.

The talk will conclude with some recent research on combined problems,
notably when oscillatory integrands appear with singularities, and how to
extend the work into multiple dimension integrals.
