On parallel implementations of dynamic overset grid methods
Authors: Andrew M. Wissink, Robert L. Meakin
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

This paper explores the parallel performance of structured overset CFD computations for multicomponent bodies in which there is relative motion between component parts. The two processes that dominate the cost of such problems are the flow solution on each component and the inter-grid connectivity solution. A two-part static-dynamic load balancing scheme is proposed in which the static part balances the load for the flow solution and the dynamic part re-balances, if necessary, the load for the connectivity solution. This scheme is coupled with existing parallel implementations of the OVERFLOW flow solver and DCF3D connectivity routine and used for unsteady calculations about aerodynamic bodies on the IBM SP2 and IBM SP multi-processors. This paper also describes the parallel implementation of a new solution-adaption scheme based on structured Cartesian overset grids.
Combinatorial logarithmic approximation algorithm for directed telephone broadcast problem
Authors: Michael Elkin, Guy Kortsarz
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) Consider a synchronous network of processors, modeled by directed or undirected graph G = (V,E), in which on each round every processor is allowed to choose one of its neighbors and to send him a message. Given a processor s &egr; V, and a subset T &sube; V of processors, the telephone multicast problem requires to compute the shortest schedule (in terms of the number of rounds) that delivers a message from s to all the processors of T. The particular case T = V is called telephone broadcast problem.These problems have multiple applications in distributed computing. Several approximation algorithms with polylogarithmic ratio, including one with logarithmic ratio, for the undirected variants of these problems are known. However, all these algorithms involve solving large linear programs. Devising a polylogarithmic approximation algorithm for the directed variants of these problems is anopen problem, posed in [15].We devise a combinatorial logarithmic approximation algorithm for these problems, that applies also for the directed broadcast problem. Our algorithm has significantly smaller running time, and seems to reveal more information about the combinatorial structure of the solution, than the previous algorithms, that are based on linear programming.(MATH) We also improve the lower bounds on the approximation threshold of these problems. Both problems are known to be 3/2-inapproximable. For the undirected (resp., directed) broadcast problem we show that it is NP-hard (resp., impossible unless $NP &supe; DTIME(nO(log n))) to approximate it within a ratio of 3 &mdash;&egr; for any &egr; &rho; 0 (resp., &omega;(\sqrt log n)).Finally, we study the radio broadcast problem. Its setting is similar to the telephone broadcast problem, but in every round every processor may either send a message to all its neighbors or may not send it at all. A processor is informed in a certain round if and only if it receives a message from precisely one neighbor.(MATH) This problem was known to admit O(log2 n)-approximation algorithm, but no hardness of approximation was known. In this paper we show that the problem is &omega;(log n)-inapproximable unless NP &sube; BPTIME(nlog log n}).

On Time Bounds, the Work-Time Scheduling Principle, and Optimality for BSR
Authors: Limin Xiang, Kazuo Ushijima
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2001)

Constant time solutions for many applications have been obtained on BSR, but some theoretical problems on BSR that were raised when BSR was proposed have not been solved. Three of them are: 1) No lower bound for any problem on BSR is known except trivial constant time, 2) is there any improvement with nonconstant BSR time but still better than the lower bound for CRCW?, and 3) how to characterize problems for which BSR achieves constant time performance. In this paper, we have solved these three problems. For Problem 1, a lower bound on BSR is shown for any computational problem with an optimal sequential solution. An efficient sorting algorithm answers the second problem. A necessary condition is given for the third problem. The Work-Time (WT) Scheduling Principle and optimality for BSR are also introduced for investigating the BSR performance when the number of processors available, p, is different from the input size, n, of problems.
Organizing new interactions: internet portals in the instructional computer lab
Authors: Owen G. McGrath
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

The U.C. Berkeley E-BABEL project centers on an internet portal for university-level foreign language learners. With E-BABEL's integrated set of linking and communication tools, foreign language instructors are able to offer their students well organized ways on the internet to use, encounter, and reflect upon the language they are studying. Built using the JA-SIG's uPortal technology, the E-BABEL environment's flexible and easily personalized interface addresses the concerns of instructors who bring or send their students to campus computer labs to access the rich and varied foreign language resources on the internet, but subsequently worry with good reason that their students will become lost in cyberspace.

On the serializability of transactions in shared dataspaces with temporary data
Authors: Nadia Busi, Gianluigi Zavattaro
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Several coordination platforms based on the shared dataspace approach introduces, besides the typical Linda-like coordination primitives (used to produce, consume, and test for the presence/absence of data in a common repository), a transaction mechanism provided to group coordination primitives which should be executed in such a way that either all succeed or none of them is performed. In this paper we continue the investigation of the serializability of transactions in shared dataspace coordination languages that has been initiated in [2]. The new contribution consists of the analysis of the interplay between transactions and temporary data, ie., data with an associated expiration time.
