C# for Web Programming
Authors: Chris H. Pappas, William H. Murray
Venue:  (2002)

From the Book:PrefaceThis is a book designed for you, the Web programmer, who has an operating knowledge of C/C++. If you have developed Web applications in any other language and want to learn how it is done in C#, then this book is for you!The book's purpose is to introduce you to the key elements of the C# language in the context of developing Web applications with this language. The book quickly examines the key features of C# then moves you into the world of Web application development. You will learn programming strategies for Web development that will make writing code in C# that much easier.This book teaches by example. We have tried to include all of the important features common to most Web applications in this book. The examples include all of the programming codenot just parts of it. For experienced programmers this might seem like overkill, but life has taught us that a full program listing can help explain even the most difficult programming concept.C# appears to be taking a 180-degree turn from the traditional C++ with MFC programming so familiar to Windows programmers. While the language is most definitely C-like, the interface is not the traditional SDK. Instead, it is more closely associated with Visual Basic language because of its use of forms, controls, and so on. You are going to love this environment!This book will highlight the radical departure of C# Web application development from other languages. Programmers retain C/C++ elements with C#, but use an easier drag-and-drop design. This single revision may revolutionize Web application design. Get ready, and get excitedWeb application development has never beeneasier!The Authors

Parallel Computing Using Optical Interconnections
Authors: Keqin Li
Venue:  (1998)

:Advances in optical technologies have made it possible to implement optical interconnections in future massively parallel processing systems. Photons are non-charged particles, and do not naturally interact. Consequently, there are many desirable characteristics of optical interconnects, e.g. high speed (speed of light), increased fanout, high bandwidth, high reliability, longer interconnection lengths, low power requirements, and immunity to EMI with reduced crosstalk. Optics can utilize free-space interconnects as well as guided wave technology, neither of which has the problems of VLSI technology mentioned above. Optical interconnections can be built at various levels, providing chip-to-chip, module-to-module, board-to-board, and node-to-node communications. Massively parallel processing using optical interconnections poses new challenges; new system configurations need to be designed, scheduling and data communication schemes based on new resource metrics need to be investigated, algorithms for a wide variety of applications need to be developed under the novel computation models that optical interconnections permit, and so on. Parallel Computing Using Optical Interconnections is a collection of survey articles written by leading and active scientists in the area of parallel computing using optical interconnections. This is the first book which provides current and comprehensive coverage of the field, reflects the state of the art from high-level architecture design and algorithmic points of view, and points out directions for further research and development.

Numerical Approximation of the Maximal Solutions for a Class of Degenerate Hamilton-Jacobi Equations
Authors: Fabio Camilli, Lars Grüne
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

In this paper we study an approximation scheme for a class of Hamilton--Jacobi problems for which uniqueness of the viscosity solution does not hold. This class includes the eikonal equation arising in the shape-from-shading problem. We show that, if an appropriate stability condition is satisfied, the scheme converges to the maximal viscosity solution of the problem. Furthermore we give an estimate for the discretization error.
Output modeling: abc's of output analysis
Authors: Susan M. Sanchez
Venue: Proceedings of the 33nd conference on Winter simulation (2001)

We present a brief overview of several of the basic output analysis techniques for evaluating stochastic dynamic simulations. This tutorial is intended for those with little previous exposure to the topic, for those in need of a refresher course, and especially for those who have never heard of output analysis. We discuss the reasons why simulation output analysis differs from that taught in basic statistics courses and point out how to avoid common pitfalls that may lead to erroneous results and faulty conclusions.
Polytypic data conversion programs
Authors: Patrik Jansson, Johan Jeuring
Venue: Science of Computer Programming (2002)

Several generic programs for converting values from regular datatypes to some other format, together with their corresponding inverses, are constructed. Among the formats considered are shape plus contents, compact bit streams and pretty printed strings. The different data conversion programs are constructed using John Hughes' arrow combinators along with a proof that printing (from a regular datatype to another format) followed by parsing (from that format back to the regular datatype) is the identity. The printers and parsers are described in PolyP, a polytypic extension of the functional language Haskell.

Krylov Subspace Estimation
Authors: Michael K. Schneider, Alan S. Willsky
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

Computing the linear least-squares estimate of a high-dimensional random quantity given noisy data requires solving a large system of linear equations. In many situations, one can solve this system efficiently using a Krylov subspace method, such as the conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm. Computing the estimation error variances is a more intricate task. It is difficult because the error variances are the diagonal elements of a matrix expression involving the inverse of a given matrix. This paper presents a method for using the conjugate search directions generated by the CG algorithm to obtain a convergent approximation to the estimation error variances. The algorithm for computing the error variances falls out naturally from a new estimation-theoretic interpretation of the CG algorithm. This paper discusses this interpretation and convergence issues and presents numerical examples. The examples include a 105-dimensional estimation problem from oceanography.

Asynchrony in parallel computing: from dataflow to multithreading
Authors: Jurij Silc, Borut Robič, Theo Ungerer
Venue: Progress in computer research (2001)

The paper presents an overview of the parallel computing models, architectures, and research projects that are based on asynchronous instruction scheduling. It starts with pure dataflow computing models and presents an historical development of several ideas (i.e. single-token-per-arc dataflow, tagged-token dataflow, explicit token store, threaded dataflow, large-grain dataflow, RISC dataflow, cycle-by-cycle interleaved multithreading, block interleaved multithreading, simultaneous multithreading) that resulted in modern multithreaded superscalar processors. The paper shows that unification of von Neumann and dataflow models is possible and preferred to treating them as two unrelated, orthogonal computing paradigms. Today's dataflow research incorporates more explicit notions of state into the architecture, and von Neumann models using many dataflow techniques to improve the latency hiding aspects of modern multithreaded systems.
Visual COKO: a debugger for query optimizer development
Authors: Daniel J. Abadi, Mitch Cherniack
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (2002)

Query optimization generates plans to retrieve data requested by queries. Query rewriting, which is the first step of this process, rewrites a query expression into an equivalent form to prepare it for plan generation. COKO-KOLA introduced a new approach to query rewriting that enables query rewrites to be formally verified using an automated theorem prover [1]. KOLA is a language for expressing term rewriting rules that can be "fired" on query expressions. COKO is a language for expressing query rewriting transformations that are too complex to express with simple KOLA rules [2].COKO is a programming language designed for query optimizer development. Programming languages require debuggers, and in this demonstration, we illustrate our COKO debugger: Visual COKO. Visual COKO enables a query optimization developer to visually trace the execution of a COKO transformation. At every step of the transformation, the developer can view a tree-display that illustrates how the original query expression has evolved.
