Cutting Planes and the Elementary Closure in Fixed Dimension
Authors: Alexander Bockmayr, Friedrich Eisenbrand
Venue: Mathematics of Operations Research (2001)

The elementary closureP' of a polyhedronP is the intersection ofP with all its Gomory-Chv&#225;tal cutting planes.P' is a rational polyhedron provided thatP is rational. The known bounds for the number of inequalities definingP' are exponential, even in fixed dimension. We show that the number of inequalities needed to describe the elementary closure of a rational polyhedron is polynomially bounded in fixed dimension. IfP is a simplicial cone, we construct a polytopeQ, whose integral elements correspond to cutting planes ofP. The vertices of the integer hullQ Iinclude the facets ofP'. A polynomial upper bound on their number can be obtained by applying a result of Cook et al. (1992). Finally, we present a polynomial algorithm in varying dimension, which computes cutting planes for a simplicial cone that correspond to vertices ofQ I .

Simple Mechanical Control Systems with Constraints and Symmetry
Authors: J. Cortés, S. Martínez, J. P. Ostrowski, H. Zhang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

We develop tools for studying the control of underactuated mechanical systems that evolve on a configuration space with a principal fiber bundle structure. Taking the viewpoint of affine connection control systems, we derive reduced formulations of the Levi--Civita and the nonholonomic affine connections, along with the symmetric product, in the presence of symmetries and nonholonomic constraints. We note that there are naturally two kinds of connections to be considered here, affine and principal connections, leading to what we term a ``connection within a connection.'' These results are then used to describe controllability tests that are specialized to simple, underactuated mechanical systems on principal fiber bundles, including the notion of fiber configuration controllability. We present examples of the use of these tools in studying the planar rigid body with a variable direction (vectored) thruster and the snakeboard robot.
Compile Time Barrier Synchronization Minimization
Authors: Michael O'Boyle, Elena Stöhr
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2002)

This paper presents a new compiler approach to minimizing the number of barriers executed in parallelized programs. A simple procedure is developed to reduce the complexity of barrier placement by eliminating certain data dependences, without affecting optimality. An algorithm is presented which, provably, places the minimal number of barriers in perfect loop nests and in certain imperfect loop nest structures. This scheme is generalized to accept entire, well-structured control-flow programs containing arbitrary nesting of IF constructs, loops, and subroutines. It has been implemented in a prototype parallelizing compiler and applied to several well-known benchmarks where it has been shown to place significantly fewer synchronization points than existing techniques. Experiments indicate that on average the number of barriers executed is reduced by 70 percent and there is a three fold improvement in execution time when evaluated on a 32-processor SGI Origin 2000.

Paradoxes in distributed decisions on optimal load balancing for networks of homogeneous computers
Authors: Hisao Kameda, Odile Pourtallier
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2002)

In completely symmetric systems that have homogeneous nodes (hosts, computers, or processors) with identical arrival processes, an optimal static load balancing scheme does not involve the forwarding of jobs among nodes. Using an appropriate analytic model of a distributed computer system, we examine the following three decision schemes for load balancing: completely distributed, intermediately distributed, and completely centralized. We show that there is no forwarding of jobs in the completely centralized and completely distributed schemes, but that in an intermediately distributed decision scheme, mutual forwarding of jobs among nodes is possible, leading to degradation in system performance for every decision maker. This result appears paradoxical, because by adding communication capacity to the system for the sharing of jobs between nodes, the overall system performance is degraded. We characterize conditions under which such paradoxical behavior occurs, and we give examples in which the degradation of performance may increase without bound. We show that the degradation reduces and finally disappears in the limit as the intermediately distributed decision scheme tends to a completely distributed one.

Better structured control in J
Authors: F. H. D. van Batenburg
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (2001)

A new primitive is proposed to replace the various keywords that are now necessary for structured programming. Furthermore, an associated primitive is suggested to take care of all types of jumping. At the end of this paper, several programs are presented in their original programming style together with the alternative where the conventional control keywords are replaced by the new primitive.
Performance evaluation of combining data migration and method migration in object database environments
Authors: Yusuke Yoshida, Masayoshi Aritsugi, Yoshinari Kanamori
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th Australasian database conference - Volume 5 (2002)

In this paper, we discuss efficient combinations of data migration processing and method migration processing in object database environments. When we have multiple servers and clients, it is practical to decide at a client which of the two ways should be adopted for performing each processing with a server for performance. This paper presents an analytical model of the two ways in object database environments. In addition, we report experimental results showing that the model enables us to get the efficient combination of them in most cases.

A Weakly Overlapping Domain Decomposition Preconditioner for the Finite Element Solution of Elliptic Partial Differential Equations
Authors: Randolph E. Bank, Peter K. Jimack, Sarfraz A. Nadeem, Sergei V. Nepomnyaschikh
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

We present a new two-level additive Schwarz domain decomposition preconditioner which is appropriate for use in the parallel finite element solution of elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs). As with most parallel domain decomposition methods each processor may be assigned one or more subdomains, and the preconditioner is such that the processors are able to solve their own subproblem(s) concurrently. The novel feature of the technique proposed here is that it requires just a single layer of overlap in the elements which make up each subdomain at each level of refinement, and it is shown that this amount of overlap is sufficient to yield an optimal preconditioner. Some numerical experiments---posed in both two and three space dimensions---are included to confirm that the condition number when using the new preconditioner is indeed independent of the level of mesh refinement on the test problems considered.
A Nondiffusive Finite Volume Scheme for the Three-Dimensional Maxwell's Equations on Unstructured Meshes
Authors: Serge Piperno, Malika Remaki, Loula Fezoui
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

We prove a sufficient CFL-like condition for the L2-stability of the second-order accurate finite volume scheme proposed by Remaki for the time-domain solution of Maxwell's equations in heterogeneous media with metallic and absorbing boundary conditions. We yield a very general sufficient condition valid for any finite volume partition in two and three space dimensions. Numerical tests show the potential of this original finite volume scheme in one, two, and three space dimensions for the numerical solution of Maxwell's equations in the time-domain.

Tracking Mobile Units for Dependable Message Delivery
Authors: A. L. Murphy, G.-C. Roman, G. Varghese
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (2002)

As computing components get smaller and people become accustomed to having computational power at their disposal at any time, mobile computing is developing as an important research area. One of the fundamental problems in mobility is maintaining connectivity through message passing as the user moves through the network. An approach to this is to have a single home node constantly track the current location of the mobile unit and forward messages to this location. One problem with this approach is that, during the update to the home agent after movement, messages are often dropped, especially in the case of frequent movement. In this paper, we present a new algorithm which uses a home agent, but maintains information regarding a subnet within which the mobile unit must be present. We also present a reliable message delivery algorithm which is superimposed on the region maintenance algorithm. Our strategy is based on ideas from diffusing computations as first proposed by Dijkstra and Scholten. Finally, we present a second algorithm which limits the size of the subnet by keeping only a path from the home node to the mobile unit.

Access Database Design & Programming, 2nd edition
Authors: Steven Roman
Venue:  (1999)

:When using software products with graphical interfaces, we frequently focus so much on the details of how to use the interface that we forget about the more general concepts that allow us to understand and put the software to effective use. This is particularly true of a powerful database product like Microsoft Access. Novice, and sometimes even experienced, programmers are so concerned with how something is done in Access that they often lose sight of the general principles that underlie their database applications. Access Database Design Programming, 2nd Edition, an update to the bestselling first edition, features: A discussion of Access' new VBA Integrated Development Environment, which, for the first time, is the one used by Word, Excel, and PowerPoint An expansion of the discussion of the VBA language itself, in response to reader requests A discussion of Microsoft's latest data access technology, called Active Data Objects (or ADO), along with a discussion of Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), which is intimately connected with ADO Unlike other Access books that take the long, detailed approach to every topic of concern to Access programmers, this book focuses instead on the core concepts, enabling programmers to develop solid, effective database applications. As a result, important topics such as designing forms and reports, database security, database replication, and programming for multiuser applications are simply not discussed. This book is a kind of "second course" in Access that provides a relatively experienced Access user who is new to programming with the frequently overlooked techniques necessary to successfully develop in the Microsoft Access environment. Anyone interested in learning Access in-depth, rather than just scraping the surface, will enjoy and immensely benefit from reading this book. Although this book is really an introduction targeted at intermediate Microsoft Access users who are novice programmers, it should appeal to all levels of Access developers. For novice programmers, it focuses on a key body of knowledge that is typically neglected, but is nevertheless essential for developing effective database applications. For intermediate and advanced developers, its treatment of database design and queries provides a handy treatment that otherwise has to be gleaned from relatively uninteresting textbooks, while its programming chapters constitute a handy reference to some basic operations that can be performed using DAO or the Access object model.
