  • Cluster partitioning approaches to parallel Monte Carlo simulation on multiprocessors

    Creator:
    Ranawake, Udaya A.
    Abstract:
    We consider the parallelization of Monte Carlo algorithms for analyzing numerical models of charge transport used in semiconductor device physics. Parallel algorithms for the standard k-space Monte Carlo simulation of a three band model of bulk GaAs on hypercube multicomputers are first presented. This Monte Carlo model includes scattering due...

  • Learning hierarchical decomposition rules for planning : an inductive logic programming approach

    Creator:
    Reddy, Chandrasekhara K.
    Abstract:
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) planning techniques have been central to automating a gamut of tasks from the mundane route planning and beer production to the ethereal image processing of space-ship images. Of all the planning techniques, hierarchical- decomposition planning has been the technique most employed in industrial-strength planners. Hierarchical-decomposition planning is...

  • Design and implementation of Surface Irrigation Soil Loss (SISL) and Soil Condition Index (SCI), (SISL-SCI) database

    Creator:
    Nkansah, Alexander K.
    Abstract:
    The Soil Conditioning Index (SCI) aids the conservationist in designing crop rotations and residue management practices when low organic matter, poor soil tilt, and crusting problems are identified. The Natural Resources and Conservation Services (NRCS) field staff and others use the SCI as a qualitative tool during conservation planning. In...

  • Scheduling system of affine recurrence equations by means of piecewise affine timing functions

    Creator:
    Mui, Lap K.
    Abstract:
    Many systematic methods exist for mapping algorithms to processor arrays. The algorithm is usually specified as a set of recurrence equations, and the processor arrays are synthesized by finding timing and allocation functions which transform index points in the recurrences into points in a space-time domain. The problem of scheduling...

  • LacEDAemon : a programming environment for the multiparadigm language leda

    Creator:
    Pandey, Rajeev K.
    Abstract:
    Multiparadigm programming languages are a recent development in the realm of programming languages. A multiparadigm programming language allows the use of multiple, differing programming paradigms without departing from a single, unified linguistic framework. Multiparadigm programming languages are claimed to have benefits to both pedagogy and complex application creation. The beneficial...

  • Offloading of I/O transactions in current CPU architectures

    Creator:
    Larsen, Steen K.
    Abstract:
    IO transactions within a computer system have evolved along with other system components (i.e., CPU, memory, video) from programmed IO (PIO). In current mainstream systems (spanning from HPC to mobile) the IO transactions are CPU-centric descriptor-based DMA transactions. The key benefit is that slower IO devices can DMA write system...

  • Information Theoretical Analysis of Self-Similar Trees

    Creator:
    Chunikhina, Evgenia V.
    Abstract:
    Tree-like patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Botanical trees, river networks, and blood systems are the most well-known examples of complex hierarchical systems met in observations. Interestingly, many of such systems exhibit statistical self-similarity. There are two main types of self-similarity: Horton self-similarity and Tokunaga self-similarity. Although there is an increased...

  • A pipelined baseband digital predistortion architecture for RF amplifier linearization

    Creator:
    Xu, Xiangqing
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the design of a baseband digital predistortion architecture for radio frequency (RF) amplifier linearization. Existing amplifier linearization techniques are first examined. The nonlinearity of an amplifier can be characterized as amplitude-to-amplitude distortion and amplitude-to-phase distortion. The distortion can be corrected by providing a predistorted driver signal (both...

  • Coding Techniques for Achieving Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks

    Creator:
    Qassim, Yousef M.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we explored multiple coding techniques to reduce energy consumption, improve performance, and secure wireless sensor networks specifically and ad-hoc networks in general. With the introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G technologies, wireless sensor networks are quickly emerging as an important and key technology in the...

  • AOPS : an abstraction oriented programming system for literate programming

    Creator:
    Shum, Stephen M.
    Abstract:
    The practice of literate programming is not widespread because existing literate programming systems have some undesirable characteristics such as programming language and text processor dependence and lack of flexible tools for viewing and manipulation of the source file. This dissertation describes the literate programming system AOPS (Abstraction Oriented Programming System)...
