Reducing Switching Activity of Subtraction via Variable Truncation of the Most-Significant Bits
Authors: Vasily G. Moshnyaga
Venue: Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems (2002)

Reducing switching activity of Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) is important for design of low-power processors. Due to two&apos;s complement data notation and fixed bit-width, existing ALUs perform many redundant signal transitions during subtraction, dissipating power. This paper proposes a new scheme that adaptively adjusts the ALU bit-width to input data variation. Unlike related techniques, the scheme masks the number of the Most Significant Bits whose values remain unchanged, thus preserving unnecessary signal variations in corresponding hardware. The scheme is simple in implementation yet efficient in performance. According to simulations, it can reduce the total number of signal transitions per subtraction as much as half and save up to 30&percnt; of energy/operation without sacrificing the quality of results.

Computer arithmetic and hardware: "off the shelf" microprocessors versus "custom hardware"
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

This paper discusses the relationship between computer arithmetic and hardware implementation. First, we examine the impact of computer arithmetic on the overall performance of today's microprocessors. By comparing their evolution over the last 10 years, we show that the performance of arithmetic operators is far less critical than the performance of the memory hierarchy or the branch predictors. We then discuss the potential for improvement in arithmetic performance, both for pipelined and non-pipelined operations. We then examine the possible impact of new technologies, such as MMX technology or asynchronous control of microprocessors, on computer arithmetic. Finally, we show that programmable logic devices now permit a cost-effective implementation of specific arithmetic number representations, such as serial arithmetic or logarithmic representations.

Managing computing resources in active intranets
Authors: Ramnath K. Chellappa, Alok Gupta
Venue: International Journal of Network Management (2002)

The objective of this paper is to present an economic pricing-based resource management technique for Intranets that has the capability of managing Intranet resources from an organizational perspective. We discuss the adoption of this pricing scheme at three stages: application level, node level, and data-stream level implementations. These three levels demonstrate how a pricing based approach can be used with the current technology and also be migrated to evolving network architectures such as active networks.
Higher precision for two-word queries
Authors: K. L. Kwok
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

Queries have specific properties, and may need individualized methods and parameters to optimize retrieval. Length is one property. We look at how two-word queries may attain higher precision by re-ranking using word co-occurrence evidence in retrieved documents. Co-occurrence within document context is not sufficient, but window context including sentence context evidence can provide precision improvements at low recall region of 4 to 10% using initial retrieval results, and positively affects pseudo-relevance feedback.

Discrete-Time and Sampled-Data Low-Gain Control of Infinite-Dimensional Linear Systems in the Presence of Input Hysteresis
Authors: H. Logemann, A. D. Mawby
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

We introduce a general class of causal dynamic discrete-time nonlinearities which have certain monotonicity and Lipschitz continuity properties. In particular, the discretizations of a large class of continuous-time hysteresis operators obtained by applying the standard sampling and hold operations belong to this class. It is shown that closing the loop around a power-stable, linear, infinite-dimensional, discrete-time, single-input, single-output system, subject to an input nonlinearity from the class under consideration and compensated by a discrete-time integral controller, guarantees asymptotic tracking of constant reference signals, provided that (a) the positive integrator gain is sufficiently small and (b) the reference value is feasible in a very natural sense. We apply this result in the development of sampled-data low-gain integral control for exponentially stable, regular, linear, infinite-dimensional, continuous-time systems subject to input hysteresis.
Understanding the Digital Economy: Data. Tools, and Research
Authors: Erik Brynjolfsson, Brian Kahin
Venue:  (2000)

:The rapid growth of electronic commerce, along with changes in information, computing, and communications, is having a profound effect on the United States economy. President Clinton recently directed the National Economic Council, in consultation with executive branch agencies, to analyze the economic implications of the Internet and electronic commerce domestically and internationally, and to consider new types of data collection and research that could be undertaken by public and private organizations. This book contains work presented at a conference held by executive branch agencies in May 1999 at the Department of Commerce. The goals of the conference were to assess current research on the digital economy, to engage the private sector in developing the research that informs investment and policy decisions, and to promote better understanding of the growth and socioeconomic implications of information technology and electronic commerce. Aspects of the digital economy addressed include macroeconomic assessment, organizational change, small business, access, market structure and competition, and employment and the workforce.
SIGACT news complexity theory column 36
Authors: Lane A. Hemaspaandra
Venue: ACM SIGACT News (2002)

This current issue's guest column is by Bill Gasarch, and reports on a poll he has conducted on the most famous open question in complexity theory: P=?NP. If Mitsunori Ogihara's prediction that P-vs-NP will not be resolved until the year 3000 is correct, my guess is more than a few students of the history of computer theory will be visiting, long after all the contributors are gone, Bill's column, which will provide a time capsule into the thoughts of many in the field. Who knows? Perhaps there will even be Ph.D. theses devoted to figuring out who these people all are, and just who the (as the students will know from their history of science books) then-Turing/Fields/Nobellaureate Bill Gasarch was making an exception of when he wrote below, "Almost all respondents are people whose opinions can be taken seriously," and great debates may rage over whether he actually meant, by "almost all," "all but a (large) constant number." In light of the fascinating opinions, though, I suspect that but little evidence will be found for that view---even by Ken Regan's Vegans. Surely some M.S. thesis will be written claiming that it was this column---and in particular the superfluous disjunct in Donald Knuth's claim that x &le; 2048 V x &le; 4096---that led, in the year 210 + 211, to Donald Knuth's Turing Award being posthumously rescinded and given to Bill Gasarch. However, the Knuth Cult will discover that Donald Knuth's words here are a numerical key that unlocks the secret of the Art of Computer Programming, which, it turns out, when decoded has nothing to do with computers but rather is a skillful telling of the life story of a Danish saint.Warmest thanks to Bill and the dozens of contributors for their time, analyses, and prognostications.Plugs for past and future issues: In 1996 and 1997, SIGACT News Complexity Theory Columns 14 and 15 collected various expert's opinions on the future of computational complexity. If you have not read those opinions already, they are worth a look. And coming in the next few issues we'll have Marcus Schaeffer and Chris Umans on completeness for higher polynomial hierarchy levels, Arfst Nickelsen and Till Tantau on partial information classes, and Ramamohan Paturi on the complexity of k-SAT.
Expressiveness of the operation set of a data abstraction
Authors: Deepak Kapur, Srivas Mandayam
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1980)

In a strongly typed system supporting user defined data abstractions, the designer of a data abstraction ought to be careful in choosing the operations for the abstraction. If the operation set chosen is not expressive enough, it might be impossible or inconvenient to implement certain useful functions on the values of the data abstraction. In this paper, we characterize the expressive power of the operation set by defining two properties for data abstractions - expressive completeness and expressive richness. The operation set of an expressively complete data abstraction is adequate enough to implement all computable functions on its values. An expressively rich data abstraction is expressively complete with an operation set that is rich enough to conveniently extract from a value, all relevant information required to reconstruct the value from scratch. Practical applications of the properties of expressiveness introduced are also discussed.

Digital Hustlers: Living Large and Falling Hard in Silicon Alley
Authors: Casey Kait, Stephen Weiss
Venue:  (2001)

:In the last five years of the 20th century, New York's Silicon Alley had come to rival California's Silicon Valley as the new Ground Zero of the computer age. By the turn of the millennium, Alley Internet ventures were responsible for billions in annual revenues, as a generation of talented, untested, big-dreaming twentysomethings created a quantum surge in e-business investment. But Silicon Alley was different from its West Coast counterpart: it surfed on a frothy wave of lavish parties, frenzied late-night deal-making, dubiously motivated sex, and inflated expectations. Freshly minted paper millionaires spent their money with abandon, bought fancy cars and multi-million dollar real estate...and watched it all come crashing down in April 2000, when the NASDAQ zeppelin burst and fell at their feet.Digital Hustlers is the first book to document this fascinating moment in time when a wildly creative culture was born, thrived, and then got caught in the headlights of achievement. In oral history form, it brings together the voices of all the most important playersentrepreneurs, hustlers, eccentrics, and visionariesin the most entertaining portrait of "geek chic" ever written. Full of drama, gossip, dreams lost and won, this is that rare business book that also reads like a guilty pleasure.

Tests for gene clustering
Authors: Dannie Durand, David Sankoff
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth annual international conference on Computational biology (2002)

Comparing chromosomal gene order in two or more related species is an important approach to studying the forces that guide genome organization and evolution. Linked clusters of similar genes found in related genomes are often used to support arguments of evolutionary relatedness or functional selection. However, as the gene order and the gene complement of sister genomes diverge progressively due to large scale rearrangements, horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication and gene loss, it becomes increasingly difficult to determine whether observed similarities in local genomic structure are indeed remnants of common ancestral gene order, or are merely coincidences.A rigorous comparative genomics requires principled methods for distinguishing chance commonalities, within or between genomes, from genuine historical or functional relationships. In this paper, we construct tests for significant groupings against null hypotheses of random gene order, taking incomplete clusters, multiple genomes and gene families into account. We consider both the significance of individual clusters of pre-specified genes, and the overall degree of clustering in whole genomes.
