(C_k \oplus G, k, \lambda) Difference Families
Authors: Clement Lam, Ying Miao
Venue: Designs, Codes and Cryptography (2001)

Let G be an additive group and C_k be the additive group of the ring Z_k of residues modulo k. If there exist a (G, k, \lambda) difference family and a (G, k, \lambda) perfect Mendelsohn difference family, then there also exists a (C_k\oplus G, k, \lambda) difference family. If the (G, k, \lambda) difference family and the (G, k, \lambda) perfect Mendelsohn difference family are further compatible, then the resultant (C_k\oplus G, k, \lambda) difference family is elementary resolvable. By first constructing several series of perfect Mendelsohn difference families, many (C_k \oplus G, k, \lambda) difference families and elementary resolvable (C_k\oplus G, k, \lambda) difference families are thus obtained.
On totally ordering checkpoints in distributed data bases
Authors: Herbert Kuss
Venue: Proceedings of the 1982 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1982)

Two-phase commit techniques to achieve atomicity of transactions in distributed database systems have been widely presented in the past. Less attention in comparison with this technique has been payed to the problem of "cold restart". To this problem we present a solution which has as its main properties:- low communication overhead and only partial cooperation between transaction managers during normal operation of the distributed system are required when making provisions to cope with cold restart,- a globally uniform total order of local checkpoints is continuously constructed and always present, thus speeding up situations of cold restart,- certain nodes of the network have an a priori chance to decide, whether they need to be restarted and in some cases may be relieved from parsing their logs during restart.This all together leads to a solution for the problem of cold restart which essentially differs from so far presented approaches.
Closed-loop adaptive voltage scaling controller for standard-cell ASICs
Authors: Sandeep Dhar, Dragan Maksimović, Bruno Kranzen
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

The paper describes a closed-loop controller for adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) where the supply voltage to a standard-cell ASIC is dynamically adjusted to the minimum value required for the desired system speed. The controller includes a clock generator that provides a low-jitter clock to the ASIC at all steady-state operating points and through transients. To speed up the voltage transient response to step changes in clock frequency, the controller is based on a multiple-tap resettable delay line. A chip including the AVS controller and a dual 16-bit MAC application has been fabricated in a standard 0.5 &mgr; CMOS process. The area taken by the AVS controller is 0.12mm2. Experimental results demonstrate operation over the application clock frequency range from 80 kHz to 20 MHz, and a 38&mgr;s transient response for a step change in speed from standby to maximum throughput operation.

Application of an Inverse Problem for Symmetric Periodic Potentials
Authors: G. B. Xiao, K. Yashiro, N. Guan, S. Ohkawa
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

This paper gives an algorithm for constructing symmetric periodic potential q(x) of Hill's equation from given roots of $\Delta(\lambda)-2=0$. The problem arises from synthesizing dual-mode ring electrical circuits. In the presented method, the discriminant $\Delta(\lambda)$ of Hill's equation is determined from the roots of $\Delta(\lambda)-2=0$ at first, and then q(x) is constructed from the roots of $\Delta(\lambda)\pm 2=0$ and $\Delta(\lambda)=0$. Examples are provided to verify the algorithm.

A Compact Fourth-Order Finite Difference Scheme for Unsteady Viscous Incompressible Flows
Authors: Ming Li, Tao Tang
Venue: Journal of Scientific Computing (2001)

In this paper, we extend a previous work on a compact scheme for the steady Navier&ndash;Stokes equations &lsqb;Li, Tang, and Fornberg (1995), Int. J. Numer. Methods Fluids, 20, 1137&ndash;1151&rsqb; to the unsteady case. By exploiting the coupling relation between the streamfunction and vorticity equations, the Navier&ndash;Stokes equations are discretized in space within a 3&times;3 stencil such that a fourth order accuracy is achieved. The time derivatives are discretized in such a way as to maintain the compactness of the stencil. We explore several known time-stepping approaches including second-order BDF method, fourth-order BDF method and the Crank&ndash;Nicolson method. Numerical solutions are obtained for the driven cavity problem and are compared with solutions available in the literature. For large values of the Reynolds number, it is found that high-order time discretizations outperform the low-order ones.

Conversion of control dependence to data dependence
Authors: J. R. Allen, Ken Kennedy, Carrie Porterfield, Joe Warren
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1983)

Program analysis methods, especially those which support automatic vectorization, are based on the concept of interstatement dependence where a dependence holds between two statements when one of the statements computes values needed by the other. Powerful program transformation systems that convert sequential programs to a form more suitable for vector or parallel machines have been developed using this concept [AllK 82, KKLW 80].The dependence analysis in these systems is based on data dependence. In the presence of complex control flow, data dependence is not sufficient to transform programs because of the introduction of control dependences. A control dependence exists between two statements when the execution of one statement can prevent the execution of the other. Control dependences do not fit conveniently into dependence-based program translators.One solution is to convert all control dependences to data dependences by eliminating goto statements and introducing logical variables to control the execution of statements in the program. In this scheme, action statements are converted to IF statements. The variables in the conditional expression of an IF statement can be viewed as inputs to the statement being controlled. The result is that control dependences between statements become explicit data dependences expressed through the definitions and uses of the controlling logical variables.This paper presents a method for systematically converting control dependences to data dependences in this fashion. The algorithms presented here have been implemented in PFC, an experimental vectorizer written at Rice University.
A Circulant Preconditioner for the Systems of LMF-Based ODE Codes
Authors: D. Bertaccini
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

In this paper, a recently introduced block circulant preconditioner for the linear systems of the codes for ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is investigated. Most ODE codes based on implicit formulas, at each integration step, need the solution of one or more unsymmetric linear systems that are often large and sparse. Here, the boundary value methods, a class of implicit methods for the numerical integration of ODEs based on linear multistep formulas, are considered more in detail for initial value problems.Theoretical and practical arguments are given to show that the block circulant preconditioner can give fast preconditioned iterations for various classes of differential problems. Moreover, the P-circulants, a recently introduced circulant approximation for unsymmetric Toeplitz matrices, are shown to be more suitable sometimes than other circulant matrices for the underlying block preconditioner.
Network architecture: hamming codes and cyclic redundancy for transmission error correction
Authors: Sei-Jong Chung
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (2001)

In this paper, we examine how detect and correct transmission errors transmission control protocols such as TCP. We will first show how to construct Hamming Codes to detect and correct single-bit transmission errors. Then, we will evaluate various aspects of the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) codes in comparison to Hamming Codes. The efficiency and the ease with which we can build and implement CRC codes are some of the aspects of the CRC codes that this paper explores.

The Topological Asymptotic for PDE Systems: The Elasticity Case
Authors: Stéphane Garreau, Philippe Guillaume, Mohamed Masmoudi
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

The aim of the topological sensitivity analysis is to obtain an asymptotic expansion of a design functional with respect to the creation of a small hole. In this paper, such an expansion is obtained and analyzed in the context of linear elasticity for general functionals and arbitrary shaped holes by using an adaptation of the adjoint method and a domain truncation technique. The method is general and can be easily adapted to other linear PDEs and other types of boundary conditions.
