Register tiling in nonrectangular iteration spaces
Authors: Marta Jiménez, José M. Llabería, Agustín Fernández
Venue: ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS) (2002)

Loop tiling is a well-known loop transformation generally used to expose coarse-grain parallelism and to exploit data reuse at the cache level. Tiling can also be used to exploit data reuse at the register level and to improve a program's ILP. However, previous proposals in the literature (as well as commercial compilers) are only able to perform multidimensional tiling for the register level when the iteration space is rectangular. In this article we present a new general algorithm to perform multidimensional tiling for the register level in both rectangular and nonrectangular iteration spaces. We also propose a simple heuristic to determine the tiling parameters at this level. Finally, we evaluate our method using as benchmarks typical linear algebra algorithms having nonrectangular iteration spaces and compare our proposal against hand-optimized vendor-supplied numerical libraries and against commercial compilers able to perform optimizing code transformations such as inner unrolling, unroll-and-jam, and software pipelining. Measurements were taken on three different superscalar microprocessors. Results will show that our method outperforms the native compilers (showing speedups of 2.5 in average) and matches the performance of vendor-supplied numerical libraries. The general conclusion is that compiler technology can make it possible for nonrectangular loop nests to achieve as high performance as hand-optimized codes.
The development of a distributed capability system for VLOS
Authors: V L Chung, C S McDonald
Venue: Australian Computer Science Communications (2002)

VLOS is a project investigating the suitability of a tuple space-based distributed operating system for running computationally intensive distributed applications on clusters of commodity (i.e., Intel&trade;PC based) hardware. Unlike previous efforts, UNIX backwards compatibility is not a goal of VLOS.In order to provide task-level granularity security for tuple spaces, field types and type signatures, a capability-based system has been developed for VLOS. The distributed capability system uses an arbitration scheme in which the nodes in a cluster of commodity workstations elect a single node to manage namespace allocations, to ensure that there are no collisions in the assignment of new tuple object identities.Initial implementations have been developed to run as Linux applications and to execute "stand-alone" with the support of the Flux OSKit. Trials show that the distributed capability security system for VLOS meets our initial design requirements, and is effective in providing (distributed) system-wide protection of tuple spaces, type signatures and field types.
Fast Solution of the Radial Basis Function Interpolation Equations: Domain Decomposition Methods
Authors: R. K. Beatson, W. A. Light, S. Billings
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

In this paper we consider domain decomposition methods for solving the radial basis function interpolation equations. There are three interwoven threads to the paper. The first thread provides good ways of setting up and solving small- to medium-sized radial basis function interpolation problems. These may occur as subproblems in a domain decomposition solution of a larger interpolation problem. The usual formulation of such a problem can suffer from an unfortunate scale dependence not intrinsic in the problem itself. This scale dependence occurs, for instance, when fitting polyharmonic splines in even dimensions. We present and analyze an alternative formulation, available for all strictly conditionally positive definite basic functions, which does not suffer from this drawback, at least for the very important example previously mentioned. This formulation changes the problem into one involving a strictly positive definite symmetric system, which can be easily and efficiently solved by Cholesky factorization. The second section considers a natural domain decomposition method for the interpolation equations and views it as an instance of von Neumann's alternating projection algorithm. Here the underlying Hilbert space is the reproducing kernel Hilbert space induced by the strictly conditionally positive definite basic function. We show that the domain decomposition method presented converges linearly under very weak nondegeneracy conditions on the possibly overlapping subdomains. The last section presents some algorithmic details and numerical results of a domain decomposition interpolatory code for polyharmonic splines in 2 and 3 dimensions. This code has solved problems with 5 million centers and can fit splines with 10,000 centers in approximately 7 seconds on very modest hardware.
Parallel simulation: parallel and distributed simulation systems
Authors: Richard M. Fujimoto
Venue: Proceedings of the 33nd conference on Winter simulation (2001)

Originating from basic research conducted in the 1970's and 1980's, the parallel and distributed simulation field has matured over the last few decades. Today, operational systems have been fielded for applications such as military training, analysis of communication networks, and air traffic control systems, to mention a few. This tutorial gives an overview of technologies to distribute the execution of simulation programs over multiple computer systems. Particular emphasis is placed on synchronization (also called time management) algorithms as well as data distribution techniques.

Optimal deterministic protocols for mobile robots on a grid
Authors: Roberto Grossi, Andrea Pietracaprina, Geppino Pucci
Venue: Information and Computation (2002)

This paper studies a system of m robots operating in a set of n work locations connected by aisles in a nxn grid, where m&ge;n.Form time to the robots need to move along the aisles, in order to visit disjoint sets of locations. The movement of the robots must comply with the following constraints: (1) no two robots can collide at a grid node or traverse a grid edge at the same time; (2) a robot's sensory capability is limited to detecting the presence of another robot at a neighboring node. We present a deterministic protocol that, for any small constant e > 0, allows m&le;(1-e)n targets and no target is visited by more than one robot. We also prove a lower bound showing that our protocols were known only for m&le; n, while for general m&le; n only a suboptimal randomized protocols were known.

Parametric timing and power macromodels for high level simulation of low-swing interconnects
Authors: Davide Bertozzi, Luca Benini, Bruno Ricco'
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

The impact of global on-chip interconnections on power consumption and speed of integrated circuits is becoming a serious concern. Designers need therefore to quickly estimate how performance and power are affected by a given choice of the interconnection parameters (length, voltage swing, driver and receiver schematics and sizing). This work focuses on the entire communication channel (driver, interconnect, receiver), and provides high level parametric VHDL simulation models for low-swing signaling schemes. These SPICE-derived power and timing macromodels transfer electrical-level information to the RTL simulation in an event-driven fashion, as transitions occur at the input of the interconnect driver. The accuracy reached by this back-annotation technique is within 5% with respect to SPICE results, with only 4% simulation speed penalty in the worst case.
Smart dust protocols for local detection and propagation
Authors: Ioannis Chatzigiannakis, Sotiris Nikoletseas, Paul Spirakis
Venue: Proceedings of the second ACM international workshop on Principles of mobile computing (2002)

Smart Dust is a set of a ast number of ultra-small fully autonomous computing and communication devices, with very restricted energy and computing capabilities, that cooperate to quickly and efficiently accomplish a large sensing task. Smart Dust can be very useful in practice i.e. in the local detection of a remote crucial event and the propagation of data reporting its realization. In this work we make an effort towards the research on smart dust from a basic algorithmic point of view. We first provide a simple but realistic model for smart dust and present an interesting problem, which is how to propagate efficiently information on an event detected locally. Then we present smart dust protocols for local detection and propagation that are simple enough to be implemented on real smart dust systems, and perform, under some simplifying assumptions, a rigorous average case analysis of their efficiency and energy consumption (and their interplay). This analysis leads to concrete results showing that our protocols are very efficient.

Designing robust multimodal systems for universal access
Authors: Sharon Oviatt
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 EC/NSF workshop on Universal accessibility of ubiquitous computing: providing for the elderly (2001)

Multimodal interfaces are being developed that permit our highly skilled and coordinated communicative behavior to control system interactions in a more transparent and flexible interface experience than ever before. As applications become more complex, a single modality alone does not permit varied users to interact effectively across different tasks and usage environments [11]. However, a flexible multimodal interface offers people the choice to use a combination of modalities, or to switch to a better-suited modality, depending on the specifics of their abilities, the task, and the usage conditions.This paper will begin by summarizing some of the primary advantages of multimodal interfaces. In particular, it will discuss the inherent flexibility of multimodal interfaces, which is a key feature that makes them suitable for universal access and mobile computing. It also will discuss the role of multimodal architectures in improving the robustness and performance stability of recognition-based systems. Data will be reviewed from two recent studies in which a multimodal architecture suppressed errors and stabilized system performance for accented nonnative speakers and during mobile use. The paper will conclude by discussing the implications of this research for designing multimodal interfaces for the elderly, as well as the need for future work in this area.

Computer experiments with the REVE term rewriting system generator
Authors: Pierre Lescanne
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1983)

A term rewriting system generator called REVE is described. REVE builds confluent and uniformly terminating term rewriting systems from sets of equations. Particular emphasis is placed on mechanization of termination proof. Indeed, REVE is one of the few such systems which can actually be called automatic because termination is fully integrated into the algorithms. REVE uses an incremental termination method based on recursive decomposition ordering which constructs the termination proof step by step from the presentation of the set of equations and which requires little knowledge of termination methods from the user. All examples from this paper are taken from abstract data type specifications.
