You and the Year 2000: A Practical Guide for Things that Matter, 1st edition
Authors: Jeffrey M. Shepard,  Ph.D.
Venue:  (1998)

From the Book:One of the things that I learned in co-authoring Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul, and Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul is that life continuously presents us with challenges and somehow we find a way to triumph and grow. Most of us deal with our struggles alone, or with the support of family and friends. It's rare to find a time of turmoil that would affect all of us simultaneously, but certainly one is on the horizon. It's called the year-2000 problem. The year-2000 problem is a unique event. It's a technological phenomenon that will affect many of the computers that support nearly every aspect of business and government and the products and services they provide. Many of us aren't even aware of the work in progress right now in institutions and large companies to avoid or alleviate the problems. And even fewer of us are aware of the potential impact on our lives - individually and collectively. But what's even more rare is to find ourselves with time to plan for and a process for dealing with this challenging period, and thatÆs the real value of this book. The book is written about potential problems that will in some way affect all of us and about the risks to the basic things in life that matter to each of us. Family. Home. Health. Investments. It doesnÆt get any more basic than that. Dr. Shepard explains the problems and risks involved with the year-2000 problem in a straightforward and candid way.á More importantly, he provides specific tips that enable each of us to handle our own unique situation, helping relieve a lot of the stress and uncertainty we would otherwise face. ItÆs a book that needs to be read. ItÆs a book that you need to read. Marci Shimoff

Runge Kutta type methods for isodynamical matrix flows: applications to balanced realizations
Authors: N. Del Buono, L. Lopez, C. Mastroserio
Venue: Computing (2002)

Recently several numerical methods have been proposed for solving isospectral problems which are matrix differential systems whose solutions preserve the spectrum during the evolution. In this paper we consider matrix differential systems called isodynamical flows in which only a component of the matrix solution preserves the eigenvalues during the evolution and we propose procedures for their numerical solution. Applications of such numerical procedures may be found in systems theory, in particular in balancing realization problems. Several numerical tests will be reported.

The National Centre for Software Technology is an autonomous research and development institution of the government of India. It is a centre for excellence in software technology and related computer science areas. It carries out research in a number of disciplines such as databases and knowledge engineering, artificial intelligence, computer networking and Internet, software engineering and graphics and CAD.The graphics and CAD division of the centre has been active in this field since the early seventies and is one of the oldest and well-established research groups in this area in India. The current group numbers more than 20 graphics researchers with about 10 interdisciplinary associates in areas like visual design and communication, digital architecture, calligraphy, animation and linguistics.In the very early years, the focus was on graphics and CAD for electronic design, (PCBs, IC Mask layouts, etc.) By the mid seventies, the emphasis shifted to core graphics systems with 3D support. A number of commercially viable packages, such as IndoGKS and IndoPHIGS, based on international standards, were developed collaboratively with the industrial partners and sold worldwide. Over the past 15 years the group has been very active in 3D graphics and computer aided geometric design. A parallel track right from the mid seventies has been electronic publishing with particular emphasis on software architectures for dealing with the complexity of multiple scripts and languages in the country. In each of these subfields the group has undertaken high end implementation projects for end use and distribution, and also carried out substantive fundamental research that has found its way in the form of research publications in prestigious international journals and conferences.For the remainder of this article, we provide a brief overview of some recent research work.

Fourier Analysis of GMRES(m) Preconditioned by Multigrid
Authors: Roman Wienands, Cornelis W. Oosterlee, Takumi Washio
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

This paper deals with convergence estimates of GMRES(m) [Saad and Schultz, { SIAM J. Sci. Statist. Comput., 7 (1986), pp. 856--869] preconditioned by multigrid [Brandt, Math. Comp., 31 (1977), pp. 333--390], [Hackbusch, Multi-Grid Methods and Applications, Springer, Berlin, 1985]. Fourier analysis is a well-known and useful tool in the multigrid community for the prediction of two-grid convergence rates [Brandt, Math. Comp., 31 (1977), pp. 333--390], [Stüben and Trottenberg, in Multigrid Methods, Lecture Notes in Math. 960, K. Stüben and U. Trottenberg, eds., Springer, Berlin, pp. 1--176]. This analysis is generalized here to the situation in which multigrid is a preconditioner, since it is possible to obtain the whole spectrum of the two-grid iteration matrix. A preconditioned Krylov subspace acceleration method like GMRES(m) implicitly builds up a minimal residual polynomial. The determination of the polynomial coefficients is easily possible and can be done explicitly since, from Fourier analysis, a simple block-diagonal two-grid iteration matrix results. Based on the GMRES(m) polynomial, sharp theoretical convergence estimates can be obtained which are compared with estimates based on the spectrum of the iteration matrix. Several numerical scalar test problems are computed in order to validate the theoretical predictions.
Communication between PC and mainframe via TCP/IP using APL
Authors: Nils Kolster, Christian Nagel
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on APL-Berlin-2000 conference (2000)

There is a growing demand to be able to process data, maintained within large mainframe databases, using Windows based workstations, thus making communication between workstation and mainframe necessary. The availability of the APL language on both platforms simplifies this problem tremendously, and offers the potential to use almost identical code on both systems. The workspaces (for APL+WIN 3.0 and APL2 Mainframe) written by the authors, allow the user to run a stateless server on one platform, which can then process incoming requests from any platform using TCP/IP. (A host-to-host communication facility is not yet provided.) Several specific server commands let multiple users interact individually with the server, e.g. to combine GUI and mainframe data or to plot mainframe data directly using standard software products such as MS-EXCEL.

A Simple Method for Generating Additive Clustering Models with Limited Complexity
Authors: Michael D. Lee
Venue: Machine Learning (2002)

Additive clustering was originally developed within cognitive psychology to enable the development of featural models of human mental representation. The representational flexibility of additive clustering, however, suggests its more general application to modeling complicated relationships between objects in non-psychological domains of interest. This paper describes, demonstrates, and evaluates a simple method for learning additive clustering models, based on the combinatorial optimization approach known as Population-Based Incremental Learning. The performance of this new method is shown to be comparable with previously developed methods over a set of &lsquo;benchmark&rsquo; data sets. In addition, the method developed here has the potential, by using a Bayesian analysis of model complexity that relies on an estimate of data precision, to determine the appropriate number of clusters to include in a model.
Performance of a micro-threaded pipeline
Authors: Bing Luo, Chris Jesshope
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh Asia-Pacific conference on Computer systems architecture (2002)

The micro-threaded microprocessor is a chip multi-processor, which uses a multi-threaded approach, where the threads are obtained from within a single context and exploit both vector and instruction level parallelism (ILP). This approach employs vertical and horizontal transfer in a simple pipeline. The horizontal transfer is referred to as the normal scalar pipeline processing used in most microprocessors. Vertical transfer is a context switch, which allows the code to tolerate any latency from undetermined data and control dependencies. The performance of the single pipeline is very important in the overall performance of the whole processor, which can distribute threads to any of the available processors. We have measured the influence of three crucial parameters - cache delay, cache miss rate, and number of registers - on the performance using our simulator. Even for a long cache delay (1000 processor cycles) we found that the micro-threaded pipeline can still achieves an IPC of 0.8 in the peak performance which is some 6 times better than a conventional scalar pipeline. If we further degrade cache performance by using an artificially small cache line size the performance of conventional scalar pipeline gives an IPC of 0.02, whereas with unlimited registers the micro-threaded pipeline still manages to achieve and IPC of 0.8 (a factor of 40 difference in performance).

The Wakeup Problem in Synchronous Broadcast Systems
Authors: Leszek Gasieniec, Andrzej Pelc, David Peleg
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

This paper studies the differences between two levels of synchronization in a distributed broadcast system (or a multiple-access channel). In the globally synchronous model, all processors have access to a global clock. In the locally synchronous model, processors have local clocks ticking at the same rate, but each clock starts individually when the processor wakes up.We consider the fundamental problem of waking up all n processors of a completely connected broadcast system. Some processors wake up spontaneously, while others have to be woken up. Only awake processors can send messages; a sleeping processor is woken up upon hearing a message. The processors hear a message in a given round if and only if exactly one processor sends a message in that round. Our goal is to wake up all processors as fast as possible in the worst case, assuming an adversary controls which processors wake up and when. We analyze the problem in both the globally synchronous and locally synchronous models with or without the assumption that n is known to the processors. We propose randomized and deterministic algorithms for the problem, as well as lower bounds in some of the cases. These bounds establish a gap between the globally synchronous and locally synchronous models.
