Parallel Integer Sorting Is More Efficient Than Parallel Comparison Sorting on Exclusive Write PRAMs
Authors: Yijie Han, Xiaojun Shen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

We present a significant improvement for parallel integer sorting. On the EREW (exclusive read exclusive write) PRAM our algorithm sorts n integers in the range {0,1, . . . ,m-1 } in time O(log n) with $O(n \sqrt{\frac{\log n}{k}})$ operations using word length $k \log (m+n)$, where $1 \leq k \leq \log n$. In this paper we present the following four variants of our algorithm.\noindent (1) The first variant sorts integers in $\{ 0, 1, \ldots, m-1\}$ in time O(log n) and in linear space with O(n) operations using word length log m log n. (2) The second variant sorts integers in {0, 1, . . , n-1} in time O(log n) and in linear space with $O(n\sqrt{\log n})$ operations using word length log n. (3) The third variant sorts integers in {0, 1, . . . , m-1} in time O(log3/2 n) and in linear space with $O(n\sqrt{\log n})$ operations using word length log (m+n). (4) The fourth variant sorts integers in {0, 1, . . . ,m-1} in time O(log n) and space $O(nm^\epsilon )$ with $O(n\sqrt{\log n})$ operations using word length log (m+n).Our algorithms can then be generalized to the situation where the word length is k log (m+n), $1 \leq k \leq \log n$.

MAC OS X Unleashed, 1st edition
Authors: John Ray, William C. Ray
Venue:  (2001)

:Mac OS X Unleashed is a complete guide and reference for Mac OS users. The power of OS X is largely in its underlying BSD implementation. For an average Mac user, experiencing a command line for the first time can be an unpleasant experience. This book will take the approach of demonstrating familiar actions and tools, and then provide the equivalent information within the BSD environment. For advanced users, this book will cover system administration ranging from advanced configuration of FTP servers, SSH tunneling, to installing secure E-mail and Web servers. The progression of the text is designed to move from simple "using" topics through advanced configuration - making it easier for beginners and experienced users to find what they're looking for.In short, Mac OS books have never had to deal with issues beyond the Macintosh GUI. This book will bridge the gap between the user interface and the BSD subsystem in a way that is accessible to users who are unfamiliar with UNIX and other multi-user systems.

Process Simulation Using Randomized Markov Chain and Truncated Marginal Distribution
Authors: Alexei S. Rodionov, Hyunseung Choo, Hee Y. Youn
Venue: The Journal of Supercomputing (2002)

Generating pseudo random objects is one of the key issues in computer simulation of complex systems. Most earlier simulation systems include procedures for the generation of independent and identically distributed random variables or some classical random processes, such as white noise. In this paper we propose a new approach to the generation of wide ranges of processes that are characterized by marginal distribution and autocorrelation function that are significant in many cases. The proposed algorithm is based on the use of truncated distribution that gives more simplicity and efficiency in comparison with the previous one. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified using computer simulation of various real examples.
All pairs shortest paths using bridging sets and rectangular matrix multiplication
Authors: Uri Zwick
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2002)

We present two new algorithms for solving the All Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem for weighted directed graphs. Both algorithms use fast matrix multiplication algorithms.The first algorithm solves the APSP problem for weighted directed graphs in which the edge weights are integers of small absolute value in &Otilde;(n2+&mu;) time, where &mu; satisfies the equation &omega;(1, &mu;, 1) = 1 + 2&mu; and &omega;(1, &mu;, 1) is the exponent of the multiplication of an n &times; n&mu; matrix by an n&mu; &times; n matrix. Currently, the best available bounds on &omega;(1, &mu;, 1), obtained by Coppersmith, imply that &mu; < 0.575. The running time of our algorithm is therefore O(n2.575). Our algorithm improves on the &Otilede;(n(3c+&omega;)/2) time algorithm, where &omega; = &omega;(1, 1, 1) < 2.376 is the usual exponent of matrix multiplication, obtained by Alon et al., whose running time is only known to be O(n2.688).The second algorithm solves the APSP problem almost exactly for directed graphs with arbitrary nonnegative real weights. The algorithm runs in &Otilde;((n&omega;/&epsis;) log(W/&epsis;)) time, where &epsis; > 0 is an error parameter and W is the largest edge weight in the graph, after the edge weights are scaled so that the smallest non-zero edge weight in the graph is 1. It returns estimates of all the distances in the graph with a stretch of at most 1 + &epsis;. Corresponding paths can also be found efficiently.

Statistical Data Analysis on the PC
Authors: Ira H. Bernstein, Nancy A. Rowe
Venue:  (2001)

:What should you see when you&rsquo;re analyzing real data using one of the major statistical packages, such as SPSS, SAS or Microsoft Excel? This book will show you, and will walk you through the output from a variety of statistical outcomes, such as data reflecting a single common factor. Through the use of actual demonstrations, the authors supply readers with the computer programs necessary to simulate data sets with the statistical properties (usually multivariate) that are often assumed of real data. The reader is then shown how to analyze these data sets and how to interpret the results. The book begins with a general introduction to doing research and tips for using the three statistical packages. The authors next explore how to create data structures and perform univariate, bivariate, and multivariate simulations. They then show how to use the simulations to understand common statistical algorithms and their outputs when doing a basic correlation analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, multidimensional scaling, multiple regression, discriminate analysis, classification analysis and MANOVA. Throughout the book, the authors provide the reader with helpful guides, such as: *Hint boxes to give readers tips for executing particular techniques using the statistical software packages. *Steps that show each stage of a procedure, such as importing an Excel file into SAS. *Problems end each chapter so the reader can practice the techniques described. *Web Site with the SAS and SPSS programs and sample data.

An Analytic-Numerical Method for Computation of the Liapunov and Period Constants Derived from Their Algebraic Structure
Authors: Armengol Gasull, Antoni Guillamon, Víctor Mañosa
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (1999)

We consider the problem of computing the Liapunov and the period constants for a smooth differential equation with a nondegenerate critical point. First, we investigate the structure of both constants when they are regarded as polynomials on the coefficients of the differential equation. Second, we take advantage of this structure to derive a method to obtain the explicit expression of the above-mentioned constants. Although this method is based on the use of the Runge--Kutta--Fehlberg methods of orders 7 and 8 and the use of Richardson's extrapolation, it provides the real expression for these constants.
Critical causality in distributed virtual environments
Authors: Suiping Zhou, Wentong Cai, Stephen J. Turner, Francis B. S. Lee
Venue: Proceedings of the sixteenth workshop on Parallel and distributed simulation (2002)

We investigate the causality issue in distributed virtual environments. Causality has been widely studied in parallel and distributed systems. However, most of the work in causality detection and preservation are from a logical time system point of view, which are not generally suitable for distributed virtual environments due to the high cost of the proposed schemes to preserve causality. In this paper, first, critical causal order is defined, which is a relaxation of the "happened before"-based causal relation. Then, causal receive order delivery is proposed with the advantage that both the real-time property of distributed virtual environments and the critical causal order relationship among events are preserved. Finally, an algorithm to achieve causal receive order delivery is given. Our algorithm is easy to implement, and it results in little extra traffic on the network.
