  • A C* development environment for the Meiko CS-2 multicomputer

    Creator:
    Zhang, Chung
    Abstract:
    With sequential computing technology reaching its speed limits, parallel processing is emerg­ing as the key to very-high-speed computation. However, developing a parallel program is by no means a simple task; neither is analyzing the performance of parallel programs. C* is a high-level data-parallel language that hides explicit message passing and...

  • Porting and optimizing a routing library for C* on the iPSC/860

    Creator:
    Uberoy, Chetan
    Abstract:
    High level data-parallel languages are easy to use and shield the programmer from machine specific details. A simple and efficient way of providing an interface to such languages is to develop a machine-independent compiler and a routing library, which isolates the low-level machine dependent communication functions, The compiler translates the...

  • Stake-Free Evaluations of Black-Box Optimization and Spatio-Temporal Graph Network Algorithms

    Creator:
    Merrill, Erich, III
    Abstract:
    Papers proposing novel machine learning algorithms tend to present the algorithm or technique in question in the best possible light. The standard practice is generally for authors to emphasize their proposed algorithms' performance in the precise setting where it is maximally impressive, often by only fully evaluating their best known...

  • Towards reliable and survivable ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Brown, Adam C.
    Abstract:
    Ocean wave energy is a new and developing field of renewable energy with great potential. The energy contained in one meter of an average wave off the coast of Newport Oregon could supply dozens of homes with electricity. However, ocean waves are usually quite irregular which leads to large bursts...

  • Improving and Understanding Deep Models for Natural Language Comprehension

    Creator:
    Ghaeini, Reza
    Abstract:
    Natural Language Comprehension is a challenging domain of Natural Language Processing. To improve a model’s language comprehension/understanding, one approach would be to enrich the structure of the model to enhance its capability in learning the latent rules of the language. In this dissertation, we will first introduce several deep models...

  • Reaction Pathways of Oxo-Hydroxo Group 5 Clusters to Metal Oxide Thin Films

    Creator:
    Mansergh, Ryan H.
    Abstract:
    Oxo-hydroxo Group 5 metal clusters are an untapped resource to study and advance aqueous solution processing of metal oxide thin films. The tetramethylammonium (TMA) hexatantalate salt (TMA6[H2Ta6O19]) yields dense Ta2O5 films (~95% of the bulk ß-Ta2O5 density) with atomically smooth surfaces (<4 Å root mean square surface roughness). This same...

  • Long Wave Amplification in a Coral-Reef Lagoon

    Creator:
    Bheeroo, Vivek Anand
    Abstract:
    A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to study the wave field in the inner lagoon excited by ‘long’ incident waves. Three cases were considered: Cases A, B and C presenting incident waves of wavelength with factors of 1, 2 and 2.5 times the width of the reef respectively. The...

  • Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV 136Xe+26, Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV ¹³⁶Xe⁺²⁶

    Creator:
    Sadi, Supriyadi
    Abstract:
    Microstructure changes in uranium and uranium/metal alloys due to radiation damage are of great interest in nuclear science and engineering. Titanium has attracted attention because of its similarity to Zr. It has been proposed for use in the second generation of fusion reactors due to its resistance to radiation-induced swelling....

  • Advances in Simultaneous Translation

    Creator:
    Zheng, Renjie
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous translation, which translates concurrently with the source language speech, is widely used in many scenarios including multilateral organizations. However, it is well known to be one of the most challenging tasks for humans due to the simultaneous perception and production in two languages. On the other hand, simultaneous translation...

  • Test case prioritization

    Creator:
    Malishevsky, Alexey Grigorievich
    Abstract:
    Regression testing is an expensive software engineering activity intended to provide confidence that modifications to a software system have not introduced faults. Test case prioritization techniques help to reduce regression testing cost by ordering test cases in a way that better achieves testing objectives. In this thesis, we are interested...
