  • Evaluation of testing procedures for stiffness properties of plywood

    Creator:
    Chen, Shaw-sun
    Abstract:
    Elastic properties of plywood panels are essential for predicting structural behavior of wood systems. The ASTM Standard D 3043-76 which evaluates the moduli of elasticity (MOE) of plywood, treats these panels as one dimensional beams instead of two-dimensional plates, which results in an overestimate of the MOE. Improved procedures for...

  • Applying Deep Learning in Street View Imagery for Environmental Health Research

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yifang
    Abstract:
    Urban green space is associated with multiple physical and mental health outcomes. Several benefits of green space, such as stress reduction and attention restoration, are dependent on visual perception of green space exposures. However, traditional green space exposure measures do not capture street-level exposures. In this project, we apply deep...

  • Nano-Recrystallized UO₂ Microcantilever Bending After Ion Irradiation

    Creator:
    Cullison, Mack
    Abstract:
    Idaho National Laboratories recently conducted micromechanical testing of nano-recrystallized UO₂ as a part of an ongoing investigation of High Burnup Structure (HBS). The goals of the test were to determine the fracture stress, and the elastic modulus of subdivided grains within UO₂ using ion irradiation rather than neutron irradiation to...

  • Improving GPGPU NoC Performance with Memory Controller Placement Awareness

    Creator:
    Kollipara, Lakshman Madhav
    Abstract:
    General-purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPUs) have become a critical component in high-performance computing (HPC) systems in executing modern computational workloads. The high thread level parallelism (TLP) and programmable shader cores allow thousands of threads to execute in Parallel. The fast-scaling of GPGPUs have increased the demand for performance optimizations on...

  • Optimizing Interconnection Topology using Deep Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Zeng, Kai
    Abstract:
    As the number of nodes in high-performance computing (HPC) systems continues to grow, it becomes increasingly important to design scalable interconnection network topologies. Prior work has shown promise in adding random shortcuts on top of an existing topology to reduce average hop count and network diameter, but has been limited...

  • Peak Shaving in Data Centers with Deep Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Adhikari, Aashish
    Abstract:
    Data centers have seen a rapid growth in recent years as the technology industry is relying more on cloud services. In effect, data centers are paying millions of US $ in energy costs. Several strategies have been proposed to lower the total energy cost at data centers- task migration, server...

  • A case for application-based linear transformers : applied towards text-to-spectrogram

    Creator:
    Agostinelli, Victor
    Abstract:
    Various natural language processing (NLP) tasks necessitate deep models that are fast, efficient, and small based on their ultimate application at the edge or elsewhere. While significant investigation has furthered the efficiency and reduced the size of these models, reducing their downstream latency without significant trade-offs remains a difficult task....

  • Machine Learning for Architectural Design Space Exploration and Resource Control

    Creator:
    Penney, Drew D.
    Abstract:
    Machine learning has enabled significant advancements in diverse fields, yet, with a few exceptions, has had limited impact on computer architecture. Recent work, however, has begun to explore broader application to design, optimization, and simulation. Notably, machine-learning-based strategies often surpass prior state-of-the-art analytical, heuristic, and human-expert approaches. This thesis first...

  • The effect of textiles on perceived physiological comfort while backpacking in the cold

    Creator:
    Rau, Lynn M.
    Abstract:
    Clothing is the primary means that wilderness backpackers have to protect themselves from injuries and illnesses that can occur while hiking in the cold. The current method of layering clothing may not meet backpackers' needs for both thermal insulation and heat dissipation, particularly in areas of the body that produce...

  • Spatial analysis of potato canopy nitrogen content using remotely sensed reflectance measurements

    Creator:
    Stangel, David E.
    Abstract:
    This study sought to explore the relationship between spatial scale and canopy chemistry through the use of remotely sensed videography data and total nitrogen content of potato petioles. A range of broad band spectral indices were employed along with standard red and green wavelengths to define an optimum scale or...
