description: We describe three contributions for distributed resource allocation in scientific applications. First, we present an abstract model in which different resources are represented as tokens of different colors; processes acquire resources by acquiring these tokens. Second, we present distributed scheduling algorithms that allow multiple resource managers to determine custom policies to control allocation of the tokens representing their particular resources. These algorithms allow multiple resource managers, each with its own resource management policy, to collaborate in providing resources for the whole system. Third, we present an implementation of a distributed resource scheduling algorithm framework using our abstract model. This implementation uses Infospheres, which are Internet communication packages written in Java, and shows the benefits of distributing the task of resource allocation to multiple resource managers.

description: The Java Environment for Distributed Invocation (JEDI) is efficient, dynamic, and easier to use than alternative communication systems for distributed Java objects. Existing state-of-the-art mechanisms for remote method calls on Java objects, such as RMI, require users to perform a complicated series of steps. Furthermore, the compiled static interfaces these systems use limit their functionality. This paper presents the design and implementation of JEDI's simpler approach utilizing dynamic proxies. We discuss a means of integrating JEDI with a publicly available CORBA ORB, followed by the tests used to ensure the robustness of the JEDI system. Comparing this system's performance with that of other communication facilities such as UDP, TCP, and RMI demonstrates the efficiency of JEDI. A calendar-scheduling application illustrates the flexibility and usability tradeoffs of employing JEDI in distributed client-server applications.

description: In a multi-fold universe, gravity emerges from entanglement through the multi-fold mechanisms. As a result, gravity-like effects appear in between entangled particles, whether they are real or virtual. Long range, massless gravity results from entanglement of massless virtual particles. Entanglement of massive virtual particles leads to massive gravity contributions at very smalls scales. Multi-folds mechanisms also result into a spacetime that is discrete, with a random walk fractal structure, and non-commutative geometry, which is Lorentz invariant, and where spacetime nodes, and particles, can be modeled with microscopic black holes. All these recover General Relativity (GR) at large scales, and semi-classical model remain valid till smaller scale than usually expected. Gravity can therefore be added to the Standard Model (SM) resulting into what we define as SMG. This can contribute to resolving several open issues with the Standard Model without new Physics other than gravity, as well as to open issues with the Standard Cosmological Model

 

The paper discusses how multi-folds apply when sources of gravity, or the center of mass of entangled systems, are dynamically moving: multi-folds mechanisms remain the same but using the evolving center of mass. As a result gravity, or gravity-like, contributions are to be vectorially integrated over the retarded multi-fold spacetime location that can contribute to a point at a certain time (spacetime location), instead of all the multi-folds for all directions. It is illustrated in the case of a rotating sphere as source of gravity: we recover the Lense-Thirring results with its centripetal, Coriolis and axial contributions. The analysis allows us to settle contradictory, and incorrect, results encountered in the literature. It also shows how non-linearity of General Relativity (GR) appears in the multi-fold mechanisms, something that may not have been obvious to all in the original papers.

The ability for the multi-fold mechanisms to explain such GR effects help better understand these effects, but more importantly, it is another way to illustrate and validate that multi-folds recover GR and GR recovers the multi-folds.

description: One important mechanism for the generation of nonlinear internal waves is the interaction of tides with topography. A model of this process is the forced Gardner equation. In this thesis efficient numerical methods are proposed to investigate this equation where the topography is much longer than the characteristic wavelength, which is a computationally difficult problem. The forced Gardner equation is then investigated. Significant phase changes in the behaviour of the nonlinear waves are identified and explained, and the types of resonant solutions are documented as the topographic amplitude and flow speed are varied, including solutions previously unknown for this equation.

On the system loophole of generalized noncontextuality
Creators: name: Gitton, Victor
name: Woods, Mischa P.
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2022
Subjects: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
FOS: Physical sciences

description: Generalized noncontextuality is a well-studied notion of classicality that is applicable to a single system, as opposed to Bell locality. It relies on representing operationally indistinguishable procedures identically in an ontological model. However, operational indistinguishability depends on the set of operations that one may use to distinguish two procedures: we refer to this set as the reference of indistinguishability. Thus, whether or not a given experiment is noncontextual depends on the choice of reference. The choices of references appearing in the literature are seldom discussed, but typically relate to a notion of system underlying the experiment. This shift in perspective then begs the question: how should one define the extent of the system underlying an experiment? Our paper primarily aims at exposing this question rather than providing a definitive answer to it. We start by formulating a notion of relative noncontextuality for prepare-and-measure scenarios, which is simply noncontextuality with respect to an explicit reference of indistinguishability. We investigate how verdicts of relative noncontextuality depend on this choice of reference, and in the process introduce the concept of the noncontextuality graph of a prepare-and-measure scenario. We then discuss several proposals that one may appeal to in order to fix the reference to a specific choice, and relate these proposals to different conceptions of what a system really is. With this discussion, we advocate that whether or not an experiment is noncontextual is not as absolute as often perceived.

Recurrent models of orientation selectivity enable robust early-vision  processing in mixed-signal neuromorphic hardware

description: Mixed signal analog/digital neuromorphic circuits represent an ideal medium for reproducing the dynamics of biological neural systems in real-time with bio-physically realistic dynamics. However, similar to their biological counterparts, these circuits have limited resolution and are affected by a high degree of variability. Considering this, we developed a recurrent spiking neural network that implements a faithful model of the retinocortical visual pathway to reliably produce Gabor-like receptive fields tuned to visual stimuli with specific orientation and spatial frequency properties. Specifically, we developed a neuromorphic visual system comprising a Dynamic Vision Sensor that emulates the transient pathway of real retinas and a mixed-signal Dynamic Neuromorphic Asynchronous Processor with adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neurons and dynamic synapses and mapped the recurrent network model on it to produces the desired orientation and spatial frequency tuning responses. Compared to alternative feed-forward schemes, the model developed gives rise to robust highly structured Gabor-like receptive fields of any phase symmetry, optimizing the hardware resources available in terms of synaptic connections. We present experimental results using both synthetic and natural images validating the model with its hardware implementations.

description: Introduction: Metabolic disorders (type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome) are leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide and disproportionately affect older adults relative to those younger. Digital health technologies (DHTs), such as patient monitoring, digital diagnostics, and digital therapeutics, emerge as promising tools for navigating health in day-to-day life. However, their role in targeting metabolic disorders, particularly among a key demographic of older adults, is not yet fully understood. Thus, this work aims to scope the use of DHTs in managing metabolic health disorders among older adults.
Methods and Analysis: We will conduct a scoping review following the recommended framework by Arksey and O’Malley (1). Our search will focus on three primary concepts: metabolic disorders, DHTs, and older adults. We plan to search five online databases—Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science—to identify original research articles published between January 2014 and January 2024. Two reviewers will independently screen articles for inclusion based on predetermined criteria, and a separate reviewer will resolve conflicts. Data will be extracted using a standardized form, and the findings will be synthesized and reported qualitatively and quantitatively.
Ethics and dissemination: No ethics approval is required for this protocol and scoping review, as data will be used only from published studies with appropriate ethics approval. Results will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed publication.

Stationary Subdivision and Multiresolution Surface Representations
Creators: name: Zorin, Denis N.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1997

description: Stationary subdivision is an important tool for generating smooth free-form surfaces used in CAGD and computer graphics. One of the challenges in the construction of subdivision schemes for arbitrary meshes is to guarantee that the surfaces produced by the algorithm are Ck-continuous. First results in this direction were obtained only recently. In this thesis we derive necessary and sufficient criteria for Ck-continuity that generalize and extend most known conditions. We present a new method for analysis of smoothness of subdivision which allows us to analyze subdivision schemes which do not generate surfaces admitting closed-form parameterization on regular meshes, such as the Butterfly scheme and schemes with modified rules for tagged edges. The theoretical basis for analysis of subdivision that we develop allows us to suggest methods for constructing new subdivision schemes with improved behavior. We present a new interpolating subdivision scheme based on the Butterfly scheme, which generates Ck-continuous surfaces from arbitrary meshes. We describe a multiresolution representation for meshes based on subdivision. Combining subdivision and the smoothing algorithms of Taubin [61] allows us to construct a set of algorithms for interactive multiresolution editing of complex hierarchical meshes of arbitrary topology.

Combining Multilayer Networks to Combine Learning
Creators: name: Bax, Eric
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1997

description: This paper explores methods to combine networks, implementations of network combination on multicomputers, and applications of network combination. We divide the network combination process into two steps. First, a matching algorithm rearranges the networks so that corresponding weights in the networks being combined play corresponding roles in the networks' functions. Then a proportioning algorithm chooses a convex combination of the matched networks. The combination network is a weight-by-weight convex combination of the matched networks. This paper begins by examining combinations of pairs of networks. Matching and proportioning algorithms are developed, analyzed, implemented, and tested. Next, algorithms are developed to combine several networks. Then the combination process is poked and prodded to explore its nature, its utility, and its limits.

Platacanthoides morusus

description: Platacanthoides morusus (Walker, 1870)
Platacanthus morosus: Walker, 1870:714.
Platacanthoides morusus: Uvarov, 1922:154; Johnston, 1956:428; Dirsh, 1956:121–272; Dirsh, 1965:261; Johnston, 1968:193.
Type locality. Africa, Southern Africa.
Material. No material examined.
Distribution. This species has only been recorded from South Africa.
Remarks. This genus was erected by Kirby (1910). Uvarov (1922) re-described the genus based partly on Platacanthoides bituberculatus (Uvarov 1922).
The genus has three described species of which one has a two subspecies: P. reductus Dirsh 1956 and P. morosus Walker 1870 and two subspecies of bituberculatus: bituberculatus Uvarov 1922 and bituberculatus attenuatus Uvarov 1922 all of which have records of distribution in South Africa. P. morusus was originally described based on one female specimen by Walker (1870), this is very unreliable since female specimens are difficult to assign to conspecific male. I collected several specimens of Platacanthoides bituberculatus in the field but had no other specimens to compare with.

A Structured Approach to Parallel Programming
Creators: name: Massingill, Berna
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1997

description: Parallel programs are more difficult to develop and reason about than sequential programs. There are two broad classes of parallel programs: (1) programs whose specifications describe ongoing behavior and interaction with an environment, and (2) programs whose specifications describe the relation between initial and final states. This thesis presents a simple, structured approach to developing parallel programs of the latter class that allows much of the work of development and reasoning to be done using the same techniques and tools used for sequential programs. In this approach, programs are initially developed in a primary programming model that combines the standard sequential model with a restricted form of parallel composition that is semantically equivalent to sequential composition. Such programs can be reasoned about using sequential techniques and executed sequentially for testing. They are then transformed for execution on typical parallel architectures via a sequence of semantics-preserving transformations, making use of two secondary programming models, both based on parallel composition with barrier synchronization and one incorporating data partitioning. The transformation process for a particular program is typically guided and assisted by a parallel programming archetype, an abstraction that captures the commonality of a class of programs with similar computational features and provides a class-specific strategy for producing efficient parallel programs. Transformations may be applied manually or via a parallelizing compiler. Correctness of transformations within the primary programming model is proved using standard sequential techniques. Correctness of transformations between the programming models and between the models and practical programming languages is proved using a state-transition-based operational model. This thesis presents: (1) the primary and secondary programming models, (2) an operational model that provides a common framework for reasoning about programs in all three models, (3) a collection of example program transformations with arguments for their correctness, and (4) two groups of experiments in which our overall approach was used to develop example applications. The specific contribution of this work is to present a unified theory/practice framework for this approach to parallel program development, tying together the underlying theory, the program transformations, and the program-development methodology.

Distribution. This species was previously recorded from Namibia (Brown 1962) and South Africa (Dirsh 1959).
Remarks. This genus was erected by Dirsh (1959) based on its flat dorsum which is similar to that of Plegmapterus Martinez 1898, Plegmapteropsis Dirsh 1956, and Calliptamuloides Dirsh 1956. The shape of its head is more similar to that of Plegmapteropsis; however, it differs from Plegmapteropsis by its posterior margin of the last abdominal tergite, supra—anal plate, hind femur and male cercus. Its taxonomic state is satisfactory or stable.

Pipelined Asynchronous Circuits
Creators: name: Lines, Andrew Matthew
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1998

description: This thesis presents a design style for implementing communicating sequential processes (CSP) as quasi delay insensitive asynchronous circuits, based on the compilation method of [1]. Although hand compilation can always yield optimal circuits to a good designer, a restricted approach is suggested which can easily implement circuits with some slack between inputs and outputs. These circuits are fast and versatile building blocks for highly pipelined designs. The first chapter presents the implementation approach for individual cells. The second chapter investigates the time behavior of complex pipelined circuits, with the goal of adding slack where necessary and adjusting transistor sizes to optimize the overall throughput.

Performance Analysis for Mesh and Mesh-Spectral Archetype Applications
Creators: name: Rifkin, Adam
name: Massingill, Berna
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1998

description: This document outlines a simple method for benchmarking a parallel communication library and for using the results to model the performance of applications developed with that communication library. We use compositional performance analysis - decomposing a parallel program into its modular parts and analyzing their respective performances - to gain perspective on the performance of the whole program. This model is useful for predicting parallel program execution times for different types of program archetypes, (e.g., mesh and mesh-spectral) using communication libraries built with different message-passing schemes (e.g., Fortran M and Fortran with MPI) running on different architectures (e.g., IBM SP2 and a network of Pentium personal computers).
