Device driver programming in a transactional DSM operating system
Authors: T. Bindhammer, R. Göckelmann, O. Marquardt, M. Schöttner, M. Wende, P. Schulthess
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh Asia-Pacific conference on Computer systems architecture (2002)

The Plurix project implements an object-oriented operating system (OS) for PC clusters. Network communication is implemented via the distributed shared memory (DSM) paradigm. Memory consistency is maintained by restartable transactions and an optimistic synchronization scheme, that have been used in database technology in the past. Originally, DSM systems were built to support parallel algorithms, but using DSM as a foundation for a general purpose OS offers interesting perspectives in designing and using distributed applications. The OS, including kernel and all drivers, is written in Plurix Java. Our Java compiler directly translates Java source code into Intel machine instructions. Some minor language extensions support device-level programming. During the development of the system we identified conceptual problems which are caused by the restartability requirement of transactions. Clearly interrupts do not reoccur in case of an aborted transaction. Without proper precaution interrupts would get lost or devices could receive broken commands. In this paper we shortly review our DSM system and present the "smart buffer" concept to bridge the gap between restartable DSM transactions and non-restartable device operations and events. Finally, we validate our proposed solution by performance measurements and compare the kernel interface to traditional operating systems.

Find what I mean: exploring new kinds of search results
Authors: John Russell
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2002)

This paper discusses various scenarios encountered by visitors using search for a large documentation library. It identifies potential problems arising from the users' level of understanding of the documentation and the search system. It proposes solutions to these problems, some of which are common to other search systems, and others that may be specific to this type of documentation and audience.The paper then considers ways in which the documentation can be organized and written to make choices easier for searchers. It presents examples of popular destinations and typical navigation paths, illustrating how users sometimes find what they want, and other times find it difficult to make a choice or end up in the wrong place.In particular, it explores nontraditional techniques such as: Guiding users to "jumping off" points, where they can perform searches using predefined terms and search options.Identifying and recovering from specific search errors made by frequent users, as opposed to isolated, individual errors.Rewording headings to persuade or dissuade searchers as appropriate. Some headings are made more emphatic, others are intentionally made more vague..
Computation of Lyapunov-Type Numbers for Invariant Curves of Planar Maps
Authors: K. D. Edoh, J. Lorenz
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

Invariant manifolds play an important role in the study of dynamical systems, and it is often crucial to know when they persist under small perturbations of the system. Sufficient conditions for persistence have been formulated in the literature in terms of so-called Lyapunov-type numbers, which measure and compare attractivity rates. The numerical evaluations of these numbers in a simple setting is the subject of this paper. We consider planar diffeomorphisms depending on a parameter; the diffeomorphisms have invariant curves which deform as the parameter changes. The Lyapunov-type numbers are then monitored as functions of parameter and are related to the dynamics on the invariant curves. As an example, we consider the delayed logistic map. We also describe how the invariant curves have been computed.

Standing wave instabilities in a chain of nonlinear coupled oscillators
Authors: Anna Maria Morgante, Magnus Johansson, Georgios Kopidakis, Serge Aubry
Venue: Physica D (2002)

We consider existence and stability properties of nonlinear spatially periodic or quasiperiodic standing waves (SWs) in one-dimensional lattices of coupled anharmonic oscillators. Specifically, we consider Klein-Gordon (KG) chains with either soft (e.g., Morse) or hard (e.g., quartic) on-site potentials, as well as discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) chains approximating the small-amplitude dynamics of KG chains with weak inter-site coupling. The SWs are constructed as exact time-periodic multibreather solutions from the anticontinuous limit of uncoupled oscillators. In the validity regime of the DNLS approximation these solutions can be continued into the linear phonon band, where they merge into standard harmonic SWs. For SWs with incommensurate wave vectors, this continuation is associated with an inverse transition by breaking of analyticity. When the DNLS approximation is not valid, the continuation may be interrupted by bifurcations associated with resonances with higher harmonics of the SW. Concerning the stability, we identify one class of SWs which are always linearly stable close to the anticontinuous limit. However, approaching the linear limit all SWs with non-trivial wave vectors become unstable through oscillatory instabilities, persisting for arbitrarily small amplitudes in infinite lattices. Investigating the dynamics resulting from these instabilities, we find two qualitatively different regimes for wave vectors smaller than or larger than π/2, respectively. In one regime persisting breathers are found, while in the other regime the system rapidly thermalizes.
Python Standard Library
Authors: Frederik Lundh, Fredrik Lundh
Venue:  (2001)

:Python Standard Library is an essential guide for serious Python programmers. Python is a modular language that imports most useful operations from the standard library (basic support modules; operating system interfaces; network protocols; file formats; data conversions; threads and processes; and data storage). You can't really program in Python without using it. In this book, author Fredrik Lundh, creator of the Python Imaging Library (PIL), delivers tested, accurate documentation of all the modules in the Python Standard Library, along with over 300 annotated example scripts using the modules. Python Standard Library renders this valuable information in a clean, easy-to-read format, yet doesn't talk down to readers. This accurate and complete reference documentation is for the Python programmer who wants the facts and little else. The book is based on the author's work with the Python newsgroup: he reviewed more than 2500 questions and answers to that newsgroup in order to make sure the book covered what Python users really wanted to know. An earlier version of this book has been available electronically for over a year, so the material has been tested by Python programmers in real-life applications. This version of Python Standard Library covers all the new modules and related information for Python 2.0, the first new major release of Python in four years.
On Some Polynomials Related to Weight Enumerators of Linear Codes
Authors: Alexander Barg
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

A linear code can be thought of as a vector matroid represented by the columns of the code's generator matrix; a well-known result in this context is Greene's theorem on a connection of the weight polynomial of the code and the Tutte polynomial of the matroid. We examine this connection from the coding-theoretic viewpoint, building upon the rank polynomial of the code. This enables us to obtain bounds on all-terminal reliability of linear matroids and new proofs of two known results: Greene's theorem and a connection between the weight polynomial and the partition polynomial of the Potts model.

A Remark on Numerical Errors Downstream of Slightly Viscous Shocks
Authors: Gunilla Efraimsson, Gunilla Kreiss
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (1999)

Lower-order errors downstream of a shock layer have been detected in computations with nonconstant solutions when using higher-order shock capturing schemes in one and two dimensions [B. Engquist and B. Sjögreen, {SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 35 (1998), pp. 2464--2485]. By analyzing the steady-state solution of slightly viscous hyperbolic systems of conservation laws we find that the solution can have an ${\cal O}(h)$-dependence downstream of a shock layer, although the viscous term in that region is of ${\cal O}(h^2)$. Numerical examples illustrate the analysis.
