  • Culprit tracking : improved lazy marking for better GUI performance

    Creator:
    Atwood, John Wesley
    Abstract:
    Culprit Tracking is a technique to make lazy evaluation in a programming language even lazier. We sought to develop such a technique after noting poorly-distributed performance characteristics of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) programmed in lazy languages. A characteristic aspect of GUI programs is the intensive screen I/O. These programs are...

  • MacSchedule : speedup estimation in parallel program task graphs

    Creator:
    Fortner, Patrick D.
    Abstract:
    Parallel computers have generated a great deal of excitement and interest in the computer industry as well as the computer user industries. Parallel computers offer the promise of enormous gains in computing speeds by allowing multiple processors to work on different pieces of the same problem at the same time....

  • SIDUR--a formalism for structuring knowledge bases

    Creator:
    Kogan, Dan D.
    Abstract:
    A new class of information intensive applications is emerging [Fuch82; Ohsu82] for which neither Artificial Intelligence (AI) nor Database technologies alone are well suited. Database systems do not provide the general inferential capabilities required for problem solving, while AI techniques have not been adapted to handle massive amounts of structured...

  • Task-parallel extension of a data-parallel language

    Creator:
    Macielinski, Damien D.
    Abstract:
    Two prevalent models of parallel programming are data parallelism and task parallelism. Data parallelism is the simultaneous application of a single operation to a data set. This model fits best with regular computations. Task parallelism is the simultaneous application of possibly different operations to possibly different data sets. This fits...

  • Benchmarking and Programming Practices for the Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor

    Creator:
    Leslie, William
    Abstract:
    The Intel Xeon Phi is a relative newcomer to the scientific computing scene. In the recent years, GPUs have been used extensively for mathematical simulations. The Xeon Phi is Intel’s response to the use of these cards. Like the GPU, it is highly parallelizable but can be programmed like a...

  • Mapping Software Development Tool Design to Information Foraging Theory

    Creator:
    Nabi, Md Tahmid-un
    Abstract:
    The design of programming tools is slow and costly. To ease this process, we have developed a design pattern catalog aimed at providing guidance about how to design tools for developers. This guidance is grounded in Information Foraging Theory (IFT), which empirical studies have shown to be useful for understanding...

  • 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...

  • Design and implementation of a reusable specialized view for the ViewBuilder environment

    Creator:
    Trognon, Hervé R.
    Abstract:
    Application supporting a Graphical User Interface (GUI) are difficult to create. Their inherent complexity, their interdependence with many other disciplines, and the inadequacy of the existing tools leave the programmer with too much to do. In particular, almost no help is provided to create application-specific code. Some visual formalisms such...

  • Design of abstract document processing system

    Creator:
    Flath, Sharon Chai
    Abstract:
    An abstract document processing system has been designed, based on the object model of document formatting, which allows users to specify abstract operations directly on the concrete form of objects which compose a document. The result is to restrict the number of operations necessary in document prepa­ration and to minimize...

    Shah, Rajen Jayantilal
    Abstract:
    Allegro is a database management system being built at Oregon State University to provide a vehicle for ongoing research in information systems architecture. The initial Allegro system is a single user environment incorporating a limited network model database management system based on the proposals made by various CODASYL committees. This...
