  • Implementing a Linux Sysfs Interface to the VMCS

    Creator:
    Kronquist, Ian
    Abstract:
    The Virtual Machine Control Structure is an x86 hardware structure available on Intel platforms which support the VMX instruction set extensions. Developers working with Linux kernel virtualization technologies may need to alter fields in the VMCS, but the few existing tools for updating the structure are unstable or difficult to...

  • DemoFlow: Low-Cost Flow Cytometry for Increased Access to Medical Diagnostics

    Creator:
    Stole, Kyler M.
    Abstract:
    Flow cytometry is a highly-extensible technology for performing rapid multi-parametric particle analysis. The use of flow cytometry has proliferated with the advent of smaller, intuitive, and more affordable instruments, along with a perpetual increase in research and medical applications. However, the technology is still largely inaccessible due to cost and...

  • An alternative architecture for performing basic computer arithmetical operations

    Creator:
    Djang, Kevin
    Abstract:
    The arithmetic portions of almost all modern processor architectures are of very similar design. We use the term "traditional" to describe this design, the primary characteristics of which are native support for integer and floating-point number types and special disjoint instructions and hardware for each supported type. Decades of refinement...

  • EXE, an expert system shell for agricutural applications

    Creator:
    Currans, Kevin
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses the design, construction, and use of a prototype expert system shell, EXE. EXE is non-conventional in that it does not provide a traditional forward or backward chaining inference mechanism. Instead, it allows the domain expert to control the logic flow of the system in a dynamic fashion....

  • Benchmarking Linux Containers and Virtual Machines

    Creator:
    Mittal, Pranjal
    Abstract:
    In data-centers, running multiple isolated workloads while getting the most performance out of available hardware is key. For many years Virtual Machines (VMs) have been an enabler, but native containers which offer isolation similar to virtual machines while reducing overhead costs associated with emulating hardware resources have become an increasingly...

  • Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Control of a Human-Scale Bipedal Robot

    Creator:
    Siekmann, Jonah A.
    Abstract:
    Dynamic bipedal locomotion is among the most difficult and yet relevant problems in modern robotics. While a multitude of classical control methods for bipedal locomotion exist, they are often brittle or limited in capability. In recent years, work in applying reinforcement learning to robotics has lead to superior performance across...

  • 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...

  • A Decade of Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities, their Mitigation and Open Problems

    Creator:
    Raj, Abhilash
    Abstract:
    The aim of this thesis is to study past 10 years of security vulnerabilities reported against Linux Kernel and all existing mitigation techniques that prevent the exploitation of those vulnerabilities. To systematically study the security vulnerabilities, they were categorized into classes and sub-classes based on their type. This thesis first...

  • The expressive power and declarative attributes of exception handling in Forms/3

    Creator:
    Agrawal, Anurag
    Abstract:
    Exception handling is a programming language feature that can help increase the reliability of programs. However, not much work has been done on exception handling in visual programming languages. We present an approach for improving the exception handling mechanism in Forms/3, a declarative visual programming language based on the spreadsheet...

  • Version Control Systems: An Information Foraging Perspective

    Creator:
    Srinivasa Ragavan, Sruti
    Abstract:
    Software history and version control systems (VCS) are an important source of information for developers. This entails the need for a principled understanding of developers’ information seeking in VCS, both for improving existing tools as well as understanding requirements for new tools. However, it is only recently that researchers have...
