Integrating loop and data transformations for global optimization
Authors: M. F. P. O'Boyle, P. M. W. Knijnenburg
Venue: Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (2002)

This paper is concerned with integrating global data transformations and local loop transformations in order to minimize overhead on distributed shared memory machines such as the SGi Origin 2000. By first developing an extended algebraic transformation framework, a new technique to allow the static application of global data transformations, such as partitioning, to reshaped arrays is presented, eliminating the need for expensive temporary copies and hence eliminating any communication and synchronization. In addition, by integrating loop and data transformations, poor spatial locality and expensive array subscripts that may have been introduced can be eliminated. A specific optimization algorithm is derived and applied to well-known benchmarks, where it is shown to give a significant improvement in execution time over existing approaches.

Convergence of Adaptive Finite Element Methods
Authors: Pedro Morin, Ricardo H. Nochetto, Kunibert G. Siebert
Venue: SIAM Review (2002)

Adaptive finite element methods (FEMs) have been widely used in applications for over 20 years now. In practice, they converge starting from coarse grids, although no mathematical theory has been able to prove this assertion. Ensuring an error reduction rate based on a posteriori error estimators, together with a reduction rate of data oscillation (information missed by the underlying averaging process), we construct a simple and efficient adaptive FEM for elliptic partial differential equations. We prove that this algorithm converges with linear rate without any preliminary mesh adaptation nor explicit knowledge of constants. Any prescribed error tolerance is thus achieved in a finite number of steps. A number of numerical experiments in two and three dimensions yield quasi-optimal meshes along with a competitive performance. Extensions to higher order elements and applications to saddle point problems are discussed as well.

Modeling document-mediated interaction
Authors: William Hart-Davidson
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2002)

Current approaches to modeling texts create text structures based on semantic representations of authorial intention or a pre-determined information structure. This paper considers an alternative to these two approaches - modeling document-mediated interaction - and discusses challenges associated with this alternative approach.
Program optimization and exception handling
Authors: John Hennessy
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1981)

Optimization of programs that may contain exception handling facilities requires new techniques. Program optimizations that do not account for exception handling facilities may incorrectly transform a procedure that can raise an exception, producing different results from the unoptimized version. Restricted exception handling mechanisms that allow optimization are discussed. Data flow equations for determining the effects of exception handling are presented.

Multimedia Modeling (MMM '97): Modeling Multimedia Information and Systems-Singapore 17-20 November 1997
Authors: Pung Hung Keng, Chua T. Seng
Venue:  (1997)

:The world is inherently complex and multimedia in nature. The development of computer systems to tackle real-world problems is an extremely difficult task. As computers capable of manipulating multimedia information are becoming more powerful and commonplace, larger and more complex systems are increasingly being built. To fully comprehend the complexity of such undertakings, proper modeling of multimedia information and systems must be carried out.A model provides a high-level abstraction of the system in which the implementation is based upon. It permits the desirable properties of the system to be extracted and analyzed and also provides a uniform framework for integration between different systems, and for interactions between the system and human users.This volume is devoted to the discussion of effective modeling of multimedia information and systems for a wide range of applications. It alms to provide common modeling frameworks for the integration of the diverse subjects in the field of multimedia information.
Real-Time Software Video Codec with a Fast Adaptive Motion Vector Search
Authors: Tatsuji Moriyoshi, Hiroshi Shinohara, Takashi Miyazaki, Ichiro Kuroda
Venue: Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems (2001)

A PC-based real-time software MPEG-4 video codec with a fast adaptive motion vector search is presented. In a fast adaptive motion estimation (ME) technique, the search order is dynamically changed in according with the motion of objects. This technique suppresses load fluctuation in the ME and contributes to the stable real-time work of the software codec. MMX instructions are used to increase the codec speed. On a portable PC, the software video codec supports satisfactory mobile visual communication at 64 kbps and 128 kbps, for example, at QCIF 15 fps. The codec on a 450 MHz PentiumII processor can encode and decode 30 CIF frames in real-time.

Power Play: The Beginning of the Endgame in Net Markets
Authors: Mike Moriarty, Bruce N. Klassen
Venue:  (2001)

:What does it mean when fiercely competitive companies band together in the digital arena? It means that Round Two in the new economy is well under way, and this time, Power Players are teaching the floundering dot.com start-ups some critical lessons: Size does matter; content, commerce, and connection are still the foundation of any solid network; and the future of business -- e-commerce and otherwise -- is rooted in tried-and-true business skills of the past. In Power Play: The Beginning of the Endgame in Net Markets, A.T. Kearney consultants Mike Moriarty and Bruce Klassen reveal how established companies are combining well-honed business skills with the power of the Internet to reclaim their lead position -- and create sustainable competitive advantage -- in the new economy. Using thorough research, solid analysis, and in-depth case studies of some of today's leading net markets, including Covisint, the WorldWide Retail Exchange, and Aerospan, Moriarty and Klassen explain how the winners in the net market arena will be those companies that combine their experience, deep industry knowledge, and solid business fundamentals with the agility and flexibility that dot.com companies once exemplified. For many executives, the world of net markets remains uncharted territory, offering more questions than solutions: What are the different types of net markets? Should your company join or create a net market? How will you use net markets to create competitive advantage? Power Play helps you determine if and when to take the plunge, and provides the solid understanding you'll need to respond, adapt, and thrive in the B2B net market environment.

In this paper, we introduce a class of extended binary trees that resembles all possible tree-structures of binary tries. Assuming a uniform distribution of those trees we prove that for being the number of internal nodes the average stack-size is given by . Since this result is quite similar to that for ordinary extended binary trees an attempt to find an explanation for that similarity using a quantitative level is made.

PRIMAmob-UML: a methodology for performance analysis of mobile software architectures
Authors: Vincenzo Grassi, Raffaela Mirandola
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Software and performance (2002)

Different paradigms (client-server, mobility based, etc.) have been suggested and adopted to cope with the complexity of designing the software architecture of distributed applications for wide area environments, and selecting the "best" paradigm is a typical choice to be made in the very early software design phases. Several factors should drive this choice, one of them being the impact of the adopted paradigm on the application performance. Within this framework our contribution is as follows: we apply an extension of UML to better modelling the possible adoption of mobility-based paradigms in the software architecture of an application; we extend classical models, like queueing networks models and execution graphs, to cope with mobile architectures; we introduce a complete methodology that, starting from a software architecture described using this extended notation, generates a performance model (namely an Extended Queueing Network augmented with mobility features) that allows the designer to evaluate the convenience of introducing logical mobility into a software application.
