Code generation by coagulation
Authors: Michael Karr
Venue: Proceedings of the 1984 SIGPLAN symposium on Compiler construction (1984)

This paper describes a new approach to code-generation. The central tenet is that there must be a more intimate coupling between register allocation and instruction selection than exists in present-day technology. This is achieved by generating code in very small regions and gradually coalescing the part of the program that is "compiled".
Analyzing the browse patterns of mobile clients
Authors: Atul Adya, Paramvir Bahl, Lili Qiu
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Internet Measurement (2001)

We study the dynamics of a large popular commercial Web site designed specifically for users who access it via their cell-phones and PDAs. Unlike most previous Web studies that have analyzed accesses seen by proxies and servers from clients connected via the wired network, we focus primarily on client accesses made over wireless channels and made for downloading content on small devices for offline browsing. We carry out user-behavior analysis as users authenticate themselves before accessing and then every access is logged with a unique user identifier. Using browser traces gathered over a period of 12 days, we perform detailed content analysis, document popularity analysis and server load analysis. We answer questions like what sorts of content wireless users are most interested in, when and how much load they put on the servers, and how much time they spend on the channel while accessing the Web wirelessly. We discuss the implications of our findings for techniques such as query caching, server scheduling, channel use and TCP optimization.

The Inventor Mentor: Programming Object-Oriented 3d Graphics with Open Inventor, Release 2, 1st edition
Authors: Josie Wernecke
Venue:  (1993)

:for graphics programmers. OpenGL is a powerful software interface for graphics hardware that allows graphics programmers to produce high- quality color images of 3D objects. The functions in the OpenGL library enable programmers to build geometric models, view models interactively in 3D space, control color and lighting, manipulate pixels, and perform such tasks as alpha blending, anti-aliasing, creating atmospheric effects, and texture mapping. Open Inventor is an object-oriented 3D toolkit built on OpenGL that provides a 3D scene database, a built-in event model for user interaction, and the ability to print objects and exchange data with other graphics formats. The OpenGL Technical Library provides tutorial and reference books for OpenGL and Open Inventor. The library enables programmers to gain a practical understanding of these important software standards and shows how to unlock their full potential.
A novel approach to mobility management
Authors: Ron Hutchins, Tracy Camp, Philip H. Enslow,  Jr.
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (1999)

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to computer mobility. Our approach allows mobility to be rapidly deployed, as the networking infrastructure required for deployment is available off the shelf. Furthermore, a mobile node does not require modifications in order to use these mobile services. While our approach provides rapid deployment and supports both IP and non-IP protocols, only a subset of mobile usage scenarios are offered. In other words, our approach does not solve all the problems of mobility. We discuss the characteristics of mobility usage, and we list the scenarios our approach supports. We believe that the mobile usage scenarios supported by this method are some of the more common usage scenarios. We also believe that investigations into this method will provide more insights into network and mobility research.

Sparse cholesky factorization on a simulated hypercube
Authors: Venu M. Padakanti
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

Solutions to large systems of linear equations are used in a wide range of problems. Many of these systems can be represented by symmetric sparse positive definite matrices, and the Cholesky decomposition has been proved to be one of the best methods for solving symmetric positive definite matrices. Our work deals with the parallel Cholesky decomposition of such matrices and their implementation on a simulated hypercube. We decompose the solution into subtasks that have precedence relations among themselves. These precedence relations are expressed in the form of an elimination tree where each node represents a subtask assigned to a processor for execution. The scheduling of these tasks is based on the Highest Level First policy which has been proved to be an optimal one in case of static and deterministic scheduling. A flexible hypercube simulator is developed in C language under UNIX environment. The simulation studies indicate that this algorithm is very efficient for large and well ordered matrices.

Concurrent programming for the control of hexapod walking
Authors: Bernard Thirion, Laurent Thiry
Venue: ACM SIGAda Ada Letters (2002)

Ada95 is a powerful language with a great number of original constructions. Learning these constructions requires the finalization of projects that are both interesting and motivating for students, as well as the coverage of the different constructions during the project. Moreover, the field of mobile robotics is one that requires real-time programming and appropriate software architectures. More particularly, legged robots offer a real challenge as regards autonomy and the coordination of movements of the different legs. This field proves fruitful for the definition of projects on concurrent programming. The present paper describes such a project about an architecture for an omnidirectional legged robot. In a resolutely object-oriented approach, the project helps to teach the main constructions of the Ada language. Among others, it deals with child units, generics, tagged types and type extension, tasking, protected objects, family entries, asynchronous transfer of control, discriminants, etc. Numerous extensions can be considered within this project.

Circuit design of routing switches
Authors: Guy Lemieux, David Lewis
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM/SIGDA tenth international symposium on Field-programmable gate arrays (2002)

This paper examines circuit design of buffered routing switches in symmetrical, island-style FPGAs. The effects of switch size, tile length, level-restoring, and slow input slew rates are examined. Two new fanin-based switch designs are used to eliminate nearly all of the increase in delay that arises from fanout with a previous switch design. Alternating between buffers and pass transistors is shown to improve connection delay without fanout by 25%. To take advantage of this, we propose schemes to replace some buffers with pass transistors to simultaneously reduce area and delay. Routing a suite of MCNC benchmark circuits shows that 14% in area-delay, or 7% in delay can be saved using the new switch schemes. Alternatively, approximately 13% in area can be saved with no degradation to delay.

Devg Quality Cmptr Systems
Authors: Anthony Coogan
Venue:  (1994)

:This book concentrates on the practical issues of systems development. Where most texts focus on the design and construction of computer systems the emphasis of Developing Quality Computer Systems is on the earlier and later stages of the process. Getting the requirements of the system right is vital or it may function well enough but simply not do what the user wants. Amendments will be needed at some stage for most computer systems and this can easily be done if they are well documented. However training in the provision of up-to-date system documentation remains a neglected area. The author also emphasises the team aspects of systems development. Control of a large system is only possible if the work is done by a group with everything subject to scrutiny by others. Developing Quality Computer Systems will be particularly suitable for final year undergraduate students who have acquired some systems development skills and whose courses emphasise the practical side of computer applications. It will also be of value to systems development staff in business, industry and government. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.
