  • Characterization of factors affecting pectinmethylesterase activity in cucumber fruit

    Creator:
    Turk, Farzaneh
    Abstract:
    Pectinmethylesterase (PME) activity in fresh cucumber fruit was determined. The effects of several cationic species, temperature, pH, and acetic acid on the activity of cucumber PME was investigated. The efficacy of blanching, infiltration with CaCl₂ or acetic acid, and fermentation with 0 and 40 mM CaCl₂ on inhibition of cucumber...

  • Developing simple load sharing utilities (SLSU) for SWARM

    Creator:
    Zhao, Yan
    Abstract:
    With the strong shift toward network-centric cluster-computing workload management has become increasingly important in both industrial and academic environments. To fully harness the distributed computing resources of the 32 PC's in our department, I developed a workload monitoring system together with a few utilities for users to submit either sequential...

  • PedVac - a graphical interface and front-end to a parallel pedestrian evacuation simulator

    Creator:
    Vimawala, Ankush V.
    Abstract:
    The World Trade Center disaster brought into focus, tragically, the need for well-designed evacuation systems in modem buildings. Today, designing an efficient evacuation system has become an integral part of designing large buildings. Simulation software enables an evacuation system to be evaluated. Modern day buildings, whether airports, auditoriums, public office...

  • A parallel implementation of a fluid flow simulation using smoothed particle hydrodynamics

    Creator:
    Vertanen, Keith D.
    Abstract:
    The reaction of fluid or gas flowing around an obstacle is a common engineering problem. Computer simulations are often used to measure and visualize the physical processes involved. In this report, we will discuss a parallel implementation of a simulation using the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach to fluid flow....

  • Compiling Dataparallel C for efficient execution on tightly coupled multiprocessors

    Creator:
    Seevers, Bradley K.
    Abstract:
    We describe a set of data flow techniques and code transformations that translate a single instruction stream, multiple data stream (SIMD) Dataparallel C program into a semantically equivalent single program, multiple data stream (SPMD) C program suitable for execution on shared memory multiprocessor computers, such as the Sequent Balance and...

  • Translating MATLAB scripts into SPMD-style parallel programs

    Creator:
    Seelam, Nagajagadeswar Reddy
    Abstract:
    In this report., we address the issues of translating MATLAB scripts into SPMD-style C programs. The resulting programs, when linked with our run-time library are suitable for execution on parallel computers. We describe the design of the compiler and improvements made to it in the current version. We also describe...

  • Parallel performance tuning using moments of utilization data

    Creator:
    Godin, T. J.
    Abstract:
    Many performance tuning tools for parallel software use visual representations of trace data to guide a developer towards code improvements. Most widely used visualization schemes, however, either omit useful information about time dependence of processor use, or include that information but do not scale well to long run times or...

  • A software implementation of a virtual network simulator

    Creator:
    Domka, Walter F.
    Abstract:
    A software system to study network algorithms was implemen­ted on UNIX. Each part of a network algorithm is written as a single C program which becomes a virtual node in the network. During a simulation, all virtualized nodes run as separate pro­cesses on a single PDP 11/40. Inter-node communication is...

  • Investigation of Multi-constellation RTK GNSS Survey Productivity and Coordinate Accuracy

    Creator:
    Jamieson, Marian H.
    Abstract:
    This study evaluates the productivity and accuracy of surveys completed with single-base real-time kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) using four different GNSS constellation combinations: (1) GPS-only, (2) GPS+GLONASS, (3) GPS+Galileo+BeiDou, and (4) GPS+GLONASS+Galileo+BeiDou. For this comparison, we set up a test site consisting of 20 stations ranging with...
