Dataparallel C is a SIMD extension to the standard C programming language. It is derived from the original C* language developed by Thinking Machines Corporation.. We have nearly completed a third-generation Dataparallel C compiler, which transforms Dataparallel C programs into SPMD-style C code suitable for compilation and execution on NCUBE...
We describe our third generation C* compiler for a hypercube multicomputer. This production quality compiler features a full implementation of the language, including general pointer-based communication and support for separate compilation. The compiler incorporates new optimizations and utilizes an improved set of communication primitives. It supports a variety of standard...
We are convinced that the combination of data-parallel languages and MIMD hardware can make an important contribution to high speed computing. The data-parallel paradigm is a natural way to solve a large number of problems arising in science and engineering. Data-parallel programs are easier to design, implement, and debug than...
The end of the Cold War brought about changes within international political relations that resulted in expanded interest in global civil society. Such developments, like globalization and democratization, have encouraged the growth of social and political organizations. Political scientists have found that these inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations have a significant...
Combustion emissions produced from burning real transportation fuels have many environmental impacts. However, detailed chemistry across multiple phases, time scales, and thermodynamic conditions make predicting combustion emissions challenging. Detailed modeling of the gas phase alone is prohibitively expensive, due to the large size and stiffness of the kinetic models. The...
The fishing communities in the St. Anthony area of Newfoundland, Canada, were forced to adjust to the
collapse of cod catches in Atlantic Canada in the early 1990’s. It was not only the fishing industry that
was affected. The entire community had to live through the changes in resources. To...
A distinguishing feature of elite cross-country (xc) skiers is their superlative upper body power (UBP). Race points/rankings are highly correlated to UBP, thus it appears that UIBP training is an integral component to the success of xc ski racers. Recently, roller board training was shown to be superior for improving...
Running economy (RE) is the amount of oxygen utilized (ml.kg⁻¹min⁻¹) when
running a fixed speed, and it has been demonstrated to be an important factor
determining race performance in distance runners. There is evidence that running
economy and/or maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max) improves over the course
of a training season...
Endurance athletes set the intensities of training sessions using blood lactate data from a maximal graded exercise test. Specifically, these intensities are set as a percentage of heart rate (HR) at lactate threshold (LT). Often, however, gas exchange threshold (GET) data is used as a predictor of LT as it...
