We extend previous results for optimally scheduling
concurrent program modules, called tasks, on a fixed, finite number
of parallel processors in two fundamental ways: (1) we introduce a
new heuristic which considers the time delay imposed by message
transmission among concurrently running tasks; and (2) we
introduce a second heuristic...
This project combines service learning with narrative writing (fiction and non-fiction) as an effective tool for the discovery and communication of social understanding; more specifically, the project discusses white privilege in literary form. Four short stories and seven vignettes, drawn from service learning experience over the course of three years,...

Two methods for parallelizing WHILE loops are presented. The first method converts a WHILE loop into a FORALL construct, and the second method pipelines a WHILE loop. Each of the methods is based on a transformation that makes explicit the loop counting. Also, we propose two parallel WHILE constructs.
The Parallel Programming Support Environment (PPSE) is an experimental integrated set of tools for the design and construction of large software systems to run on parallel computers. The tools include a graphical de.sign editor, a graphical target machine description system, a task mapper/scheduler tool, parallel code generator, and graphical aids...
The Large-Grain Data-Flow (LGDF) Machine is a tightly-coupled multi-processor consisting of several independent nodes, upon each of which may run one or more tasks. These tasks must be able to communicate and synchronize with each other. This document describes a message-passing system developed to meet these requirements.
The message-passing system...
Bransfield Basin is an actively extending marginal basin separating the inactive South Shetland arc from the northern Antarctic Peninsula. Rift-related volcanism is widespread throughout the central Bransfield Basin, but the wider eastern Bransfield Basin was previously unsampled. Lavas recovered from the eastern subbasin form three distinct groups: (1) Bransfield Group...

Sulfur content of fuels and desulfurization of fuels is becoming an
important environmental restriction and regulatory issue. In this study new
technology for the desulfurization of fuels is considered. Micro scale reactors are
introduced for desulfurization of thiophene and dibenzothiophene.
Thiophene and dibenzothiophene are mixed with hexane at concentration, C₀...
