  • Molecular and genetic assessment of selected antiporters and methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins in Vibrio cholerae

    Creator:
    Quinn, Matthew J.
    Abstract:
    The pathogen Vibrio cholerae uses cations as a primary currency of virulence and environmental persistence, using gradients of those cations to move, acquire nutrients, and control virulence gene expression. An understanding of the overlapping roles of bioenergetics and chemotaxis in the virulence and environmental survival of V. cholerae issues from...

  • Fundamental Investigations of Electrocatalysis: Mechanistic Implications of Catalyst Electronic Structure

    Creator:
    Carvalho, O. Quinn
    Abstract:
    Heterogeneous catalysis modulates the rate and selectivity of reaction processes by stabilizing a series of intermediate states on solid surfaces, facilitating the production of many commodity chemicals modern society relies upon. Conventional, thermal catalytic processes—conducted at elevated temperatures and pressures—source thermal, mechanical, and chemical potential energy from carbon-hydrogen bonds— combustion...

  • Morality of biometrics

    Creator:
    Tao, Dany
    Abstract:
    "‘Biometrics is at the forefront in our agenda for homeland security,’ declared Asa Hutchinson, the Department of Homeland Security's undersecretary for border and transportation security, at the 2004 Biometric Consortium Conference” [11]. Flashy retinal scanning and voice activated computers were once considered technologies for science fiction movies and novels. Nowadays,...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Implementing a Run-time Library for a Parallel MATLAB Compiler

    Creator:
    Malishevsky, Alexey
    Abstract:
    Programming parallel machines has been a difficult and unrewarding task. The short lifespan of parallel machines and their incompatibility have made it difficult to utilize them. Our goal here is to create an environment for parallel computing which allows users to take advantage of parallel computers without writing parallel programs....

  • 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....

    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...
