Microarchitectural synthesis of performance-constrained, low-power VLSI designs
Authors: Laurence Goodby, Alex Orailoğlu, Paul M. Chau
Venue: ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES) (2002)

New portable signal-processing applications such as mobile telephony, wireless computing, and personal digital assistants place stringent power consumption limits on their constituent components. Substantial power savings can be realized if 5 V designs are translated to use the new lower supply voltage standards. This conversion, however, is not achieved easily: a design originally targeted for implementation in a 5 V technology will typically require significant rework to meet timing and throughput requirements at the lower operating voltage. In this paper we describe a high-level synthesis system which assists the designer in performing this task, minimizing the need for manual redesign. Techniques employed in this work include pipelining and a new approach to module selection that minimizes power consumption subject to timing constraints. Using these and other high-level synthesis techniques to target designs to 3.3 V libraries, we show that it is possible to reduce power consumption by as much as 56&percnt; as compared to the original 5 V implementation, while meeting specified minimum throughput and maximum latency constraints.

Information Warfare: Chaos on the Electronic Superhighway, 1st edition
Authors: Winn Schwartau
Venue:  (1994)

:As the National Information Infrastructure grows and evolves into everyman's electronic superhighway, are we opening the doors to an electronic cold war? Or are we on the edge of a brave new precipice overlooking the dawn of the information revolution? With over 125,000,000 computers inextricably tying our economy together through complex land and satellite-based communications systems, a major portion of our domestic 6 trillion dollar economy depends on their consistent and reliable operation. In a serious and inviting manner, Information Warfare: Chaos on the Electronic Superhighway examines the awesome potential for industrial and international espionage. Through sabotage, theft, data manipulation, and other means, our economy could be crippled beyond anything in recent history. Currently within the banking community it is common practice for banks to use creative accounting to hide millions of dollars lost every year through Information Warfare. In Information Warfare the "digital persona" plays the role of victim and perpetrator. The wrong hands could extract the most personal information about the "digital you," not the least of which could be medical, financial, business, legal, and criminal documentation. An individual could alter his/her own records to eradicate nefarious histories. Or an individual could alter anyone's electronic documentation for any reason. Information Warfare outlines almost every kind of informational disaster imaginable leaving the reader to think there may be no way out of the quagmire that is the new information age. However, author Winn Schwartau details current trends in Information Warfare and inspires the dialogue necessary to establish a National Information Policy, a constitution for Cyberspace and an Electronic Bill of Rights.

Implementation of automatic differentiation tools
Authors: Christian H. Bischof, Paul D. Hovland, Boyana Norris
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2002)

Automatic differentiation is a semantic transformation that applies the rules of differential calculus to source code. It thus transforms a computer program that computes a mathematical function into a program that computes the function and its derivatives. Derivatives play an important role in a wide variety of scientific computing applications, including optimization, solution of nonlinear equations, sensitivity analysis, and nonlinear inverse problems. We describe a simple component architecture for developing tools for automatic differentiation and other mathematically oriented semantic transformations of scientific software. This architecture consists of a compiler-based, language-specific front-end for source transformation, loosely coupled with one or more language-independent "plug-in" transformation modules. The coupling mechanism between the front-end and transformation modules is provided by the XML Abstract Interface Form (XAIF). XAIF provides an abstract, language-independent representation of language constructs common in imperative languages, such as C and Fortran. We describe the use of this architecture in constructing tools for automatic differentiation of Fortran 77 and ANSI C, and we discuss how access to compiler optimization techniques can enable more efficient derivative augmentation.

Acquiring conceptual data modeling skills: the effect of cooperative learning and self-efficacy on learning outcomes
Authors: Sherry D. Ryan, Bijoy Bordoloi, David A. Harrison
Venue: ACM SIGMIS Database (2000)

Conceptual data modeling has been defined as a complex task for designers. This study draws from educational and psychological research in examining the training of novices in conceptual data modeling. Specifically, an experiment was conducted to determine the effects of self-efficacy and cooperative, team-based participation on complex data modeling skills. Subjects in the cooperative learning treatment did not perform significantly better on a conceptual data modeling task than those assigned to an individual-work treatment. This calls into question the value of using the cooperative learning approach for short-duration IS training. However, the data also showed that self-efficacy was significantly and positively related to skill acquisition. Self-efficacy, then, is an important consideration for improving achievement when teaching complex information systems development skills to IS novices.

PLAPACK: parallel linear algebra package design overview
Authors: Philip Alpatov, Greg Baker, Carter Edwards, John Gunnels, Greg Morrow, James Overfelt, Robert van de Geijn, Yuan-Jye J. Wu
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

Over the past twenty years, dense linear algebra libraries have gone through three generations of public domain general purpose packages. In the seventies, the first generation of packages were EISPACK and LINPACK, which implemented a broad spectrum of algorithms for solving dense linear eigenproblems and dense linear systems. In the late eighties, the second generation package called LAPACK was developed. This package attains high performance in a portable fashion while also improving upon the functionality and robustness of LINPACK and EISPACK. Finally, since the early nineties, a third generation package which ports LAPACK to distributed memory networks of computers has been underway as part of the ScaLAPACK project.PLAPACK is a maturing fourth generation package which uses a more application-centric view of vector and matrix distribution, Physically Based Matrix Distribution. It also uses an "MPI-like" programming interface that hides distribution and indexing details in opaque objects, provides a natural layering in the library, and provides a straight-forward application interface. In this paper, we give an overview of the design of PLAPACK.

Silent Stores and Store Value Locality
Authors: Kevin M. Lepak, Gordon B. Bell, Mikko H. Lipasti
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

Value locality, a recently discovered program attribute that describes the likelihood of the recurrence of previously seen program values, has been studied enthusiastically in the recent published literature. Much of the energy has focused on refining the initial efforts at predicting load instruction outcomes, with the balance of the effort examining the value locality of either all register-writing instructions or a focused subset of them. Surprisingly, there has been very little published characterization of or effort to exploit the value locality of data words stored to memory by computer programs. This paper presents such a characterization, including detailed source-level analysis of the causes of silent stores, proposes both memory-centric (based on message passing) and producer-centric (based on program structure) prediction mechanisms for stored data values, introduces the concept of silent stores and new definitions of multiprocessor false sharing based on these observations, and suggests new techniques for aligning cache coherence protocols and microarchitectural store handling techniques to exploit the value locality of stores. We find that realistic implementations of these techniques can significantly reduce multiprocessor data bus traffic and are more effective at reducing address bus traffic than the addition of Exclusive state to a MSI coherence protocol. We also show that squashing of silent stores can provide uniprocessor speedups greater than the addition of store-to-load forwarding.
