A Performance Model of Adaptive Wormhole Routing in k-Ary n-Cubes in the Presence of Digit-Reversal Traffic
Authors: Hamid Sarbazi-Azad, Mohamed Ould-Khaoua, Lewis M. Mackenzie
Venue: The Journal of Supercomputing (2002)

Several analytical models of fully adaptive routing in wormhole-routed k-ary n-cubes under the uniform traffic pattern have recently been proposed in the literature. Although the uniform reference model has been widely used by researchers, it is not always true in practice as there are many applications that exhibit traffic nonuniformity. There has hardly been any study that describes an analytical model of fully adaptive routing under nonuniform traffic conditions. This paper describes the first analytical model of fully adaptive routing in k-ary n-cubes in the presence of nonuniform traffic generated by the digit-reversal permutation, which is an important communication operation found in many matrix computation problems. Results obtained through simulation experiments confirm that the model predicts message latency with a good degree of accuracy under different working conditions.

Multilevel Reverse-Carry Addition: Single and Dual Adders
Authors: J. D. Bruguera, T. Lang
Venue: Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems (2002)

The multilevel reverse-carry approach has been proposed previously for fast computation of the most-significant carry of an adder. In this paper, this approach is extended to generate several carries and is applied to the implementation of single and dual adders. Specifically, the operands are split into blocks and each block is added to produce the sum and the sum plus one. Concurrently with these additions the multilevel reverse-carry approach is used to generate the input carries of these blocks. Finally, these carries are used to select among the sum and the sum plus one.The delay and complexity of the resulting architecture for a 64-bit adder has been estimated, considering the load introduced by long connections, resulting in a reduction of about 15&percnt; in the critical path delay and comparable complexity with respect to traditional implementations of prefix-tree based adders.
Numerical Analysis of Quasi-Static Unilateral Contact Problems with Local Friction
Authors: Remi Rocca, Marius Cocou
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

A mixed finite element method is adopted to approximate the quasi-static unilateral contact problem with local Coulomb friction. The existence of a solution with bounds independent of the discretization parameter is obtained by an incremental scheme. This approach enables us to select a sequence of discrete solutions which converges strongly towards a solution of the quasi-static unilateral contact problem with Coulomb friction law.

Towards a digital excavation data management system: the "Grand Ribaud F" Estruscan deep-water wreck
Authors: Pierre Drap, Luc Long
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 conference on Virtual reality, archeology, and cultural heritage (2001)

The interdisciplinary work we present here is aimed principally at administering diverse types of information collected during an archaeological excavation using a single data management system. The approach is global, from the consultation of three-dimensional data to simple textual data to the addition of data captured by a digital photogrammetry system called l'Arpenteur [Surveyor], which is fully integrated to the data management system.We are using an object formalisation of the manipulated archaeological data using JAVA 1.3, the language chosen for all developments, from the digital photogrammetry tool to the three-dimensional model generator (VRML or JAVA 3D) used as a navigation interface in the database.Following a brief introduction to the archaeological context, and the special aspects of the excavation due to the great depth of the shipwreck, we will then present the existing system and explain the problems encountered. Not all of them have yet been resolved, such as the translation of objects to and from the relational DBMS, the revision of data coming from different sources, and the automatic generation of three-dimensional models as a navigation interface.
Randomness in Private Computations
Authors: Eyal Kushilevitz, Yishay Mansour
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (1997)

We consider the amount of randomness used in private distributed computations. Specifically, we show how n players can compute the exclusive-or (xor) of n boolean inputs t-privately, using only O(t2 log (n/t)) random bits (the best known upper bound is O(tn)). We accompany this result by a lower bound on the number of random bits required to carry out this task; we show that any protocol solving this problem requires at least t random bits (again, this significantly improves over the known lower bounds).For the upper bound, we show how, given m subsets of {1,...,n}, to construct in (deterministic) polynomial time a probability distribution of n random variables (i.e., a probability distribution over {0,1}n) such that (1) the parity of random variables in each of these m subsets is 0 or 1 with equal probability, and (2) the support of the distribution is of size at most 2m. This construction generalizes previously considered types of sample spaces (such as k-wise independent spaces and Schulman's spaces [Sample spaces uniform on neighborhoods, in Proc. of the 24th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, ACM, New York, 1992, pp. 17--25]). We believe that this construction is of independent interest and may have various applications.

War and Peace in the Global Village
Authors: Marshall McLuhan
Venue:  (1997)

:War and Peace in The Global Village is a collage of images and text that sharply illustrates the effects of electronic media and new technology on man. Marshall McLuhan wrote this book thirty years ago and following its publication predicted that the forthcoming information age would be "a transitional era of profound pain and tragic identity quest". Marshall McLuhan illustrates the fact that all social changes are caused by introduction of new technologies. He interprets these new technologies as extensions or "self-amputations of our own being", because technologies extend bodily reach. McLuhan's ideas and observations seem disturbingly accurate and clearly applicable to the world in which we live. War and Peace in the Global Village is a meditation on accelerating innovations leading to identity loss and war.

Variable-Sized Bin Packing: Tight Absolute Worst-Case Performance Ratios for Four Approximation Algorithms
Authors: Chengbin Chu, Rémy La
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2001)

In this paper we consider a one-dimensional bin packing problem where the bins do not have identical sizes, or a variable-sized bin packing problem, to minimize the bin consumption, i.e., the total size of the opened bins. The identical size problem has been extensively studied in the literature both for static and dynamic settings. The worst-case or average-case performance has been analyzed. Our problem setting particularly arises in metal cutting industries. Therefore, it presents a great practical relevance. Four greedy approximation algorithms based on a construction approach called largest object first with least absolute waste (LFLAW), largest object first with least relative waste (LFLRW), least absolute waste (LAW), and least relative waste (LRW) are examined. Their absolute worst-case performances are analyzed. The worst case bounds are 2 for LFLAW and LFLRW, 3 for LAW, and 2+ln 2 for LRW. We also show that these worst-case bounds are tight.
Analysis of lexical signatures for finding lost or related documents
Authors: Seung-Taek Park, David M. Pennock, C. Lee Giles, Robert Krovetz
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

A lexical signature of a web page is often sufficient for finding the page, even if its URL has changed. We conduct a large-scale empirical study of eight methods for generating lexical signatures, including Phelps and Wilensky's [14] original proposal (PW) and seven of our own variations. We examine their performance on the web and on a TREC data set, evaluating their ability both to uniquely identify the original document and to locate other relevant documents if the original is lost. Lexical signatures chosen to minimize document frequency (DF) are good at unique identification but poor at finding relevant documents. PW works well on the relatively small TREC data set, but acts almost identically to DF on the web, which contains billions of documents. Term-frequency-based lexical signatures (TF) are very easy to compute and often perform well, but are highly dependent on the ranking system of the search engine used. In general, TFIDF-based method and hybrid methods (which combine DF with TF or TFIDF) seem to be the most promising candidates for generating effective lexical signatures.
