  • Interprocessor communication in Dataparallel C

    Creator:
    Anderson, Ray
    Abstract:
    Multicomputers and multiprocessors, first introduced in the mid 1980s, employ large numbers of microprocessors working in parallel to achieve high performance at low cost. These parallel machines represent an exciting new generation in supercomputing, but their usefulness is currently limited by inadequate programming languages and environments. This problem is being...

  • Type systems of object-oriented programming languages

    Creator:
    Sandberg, David W.
    Abstract:
    Three different approaches to type checking have been taken in object-oriented programming languages. Smalltalk-80 uses run-time type checking. C++ uses subtypes. A third alternative is to use parameterized types. We examine the difficulties of programming in an object-oriented fashion with compile-time type checking and argue that parameterized types are better...

  • Typographic style is more than cosmetic

    Creator:
    Oman, Paul W. and Cook, Curtis R.
    Abstract:
    There is disagreement about the role and importance of typographic style (source code formatting and commenting) in program comprehension. Results from experiments and opinions in programming style books are mixed. This paper presents principles of typographic style consistent and compatible with the results of program comprehension studies. It introduces the...

  • Effects of programming experience in debugging semantic errors

    Creator:
    Oman, Paul W., Cook, Curtis R., and Nanja, Murthi
    Abstract:
    This paper presents the results of a controlled experiment comparing debugging abilities of novice, intermediate and skilled student programmers. Debugging performance differences were studied using two single-page Pascal programs: a binary search program and a median calculation program. Two types of semantic errors, array bounds and undefined variable, and two...

  • Translating MATLAB scripts into SPMD-style parallel programs

    Creator:
    Seelam, Nagajagadeswar Reddy
    Abstract:
    In this report., we address the issues of translating MATLAB scripts into SPMD-style C programs. The resulting programs, when linked with our run-time library are suitable for execution on parallel computers. We describe the design of the compiler and improvements made to it in the current version. We also describe...

  • Linda, tuple spaces and its implementation on a network of Unix workstations

    Creator:
    Cherala, Janakiram
    Abstract:
    In this paper we outline an implementation of Linda on a network of Unix worksta­tions. A literature survey was done to gain a better perspective on state of the art and to learn from the experiences of other implementations. The tuple space which is central to the Linda system is...

  • Critique : a prototype style critic for FORTRAN

    Creator:
    Luh, Shan
    Abstract:
    Programming style is important for program understanding in programming tasks such as maintenance. testing, and debugging. The goal of programming style is to improve the readability of the source program without adversely affecting its performance. Critique is a FORTRAN source program style critic which analyzes the source program and outputs...

  • Process communication through Proxy Pipe

    Creator:
    Chen, Shuping
    Abstract:
    Proxy Pipe is designed to be a bus in the transport layer of the communication between the two different processes. Its major function is to transfer bytes. When the client process tries to send a command to the server process, it will talk to a proxy as if it were...

  • Schemer : a hierarchical software architecture for real time problem solving

    Creator:
    Srivastava, Sharad
    Abstract:
    This paper describes Schemer, a hierarchical software architecture for Real Time problem solving. Real time applications must be able to react to critical events quickly, and be able to explore simultaneous solutions in response to, or, in anticipation of such events. Schemer, which is a Blackboard-like architecture, addresses the aforementioned...

  • Supporting branch-and-bound computations on parallel machines

    Creator:
    Mannan, Mohammed A.
    Abstract:
    We have developed SearchPak, a machine independent parallel searching tool on shared and distributed memory machines. It can be used for combinatorial optimiza­tion problems and OR-parallel computations as well. Both depth-first and best-first search of the state space can be performed using the SearchPak. With SearchPak, a user just provides...
