Myrinet: A Gigabit-per-Second Local Area Network

by Nanette J. Boden, Danny Cohen, Robert E. Felderman, Alan E. Kulawik, Charles L. Seitz, Jakov N. Seizovic, Wen-king Su - IEEE Micro , 1995
"... Abstract. Myrinet is a new type of local-area network (LAN) based on the technology used for packet communication and switching within "massivelyparallel processors " (MPPs). Think of Myrinet as an MPP message-passing network that can span campus dimensions, rather than as a wide-a ..."

that can map the network, select routes, and translate from network addresses to routes, as well as handle packet traffic; and (4) streamlined host software that allows direct communication between user processes and the network. Background. In order to understand how Myrinet differs from conventional LANs

Voronoi diagrams -- a survey of a fundamental geometric data structure

by Franz Aurenhammer - ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS , 1991
"... This paper presents a survey of the Voronoi diagram, one of the most fundamental data structures in computational geometry. It demonstrates the importance and usefulness of the Voronoi diagram in a wide variety of fields inside and outside computer science and surveys the history of its development. ..."

Parallel discrete event simulation

by Richard M. Fujimoto , 1990
"... Parallel discrete event simulation (PDES), sometimes I called distributed simulation, refers to the execution of a single discrete event simulation program on a parallel computer. PDES has attracted a considerable amount of interest in recent years. From a pragmatic standpoint, this interest arises ..."
Abstract - Cited by 818 (39 self) - Add to MetaCart
from the fact that large simulations in engineering, computer science, economics, and military apphcations, to mention a few, consume enormous amounts of time

The Magma Algebra System I: The User Language

by Wieb Bosma , John Cannon , Catherine Playoust , 1997
"... In the first of two papers on Magma, a new system for computational algebra, we present the Magma language, outline the design principles and theoretical background, and indicate its scope and use. Particular attention is given to the constructors for structures, maps, and sets. ..."

Approximate Signal Processing

by S. Hamid Nawab, Alan V. Oppenheim, Anantha P. Chandrakasan, Joseph M. Winograd, Jeffrey T. Ludwig , 1997
"... It is increasingly important to structure signal processing algorithms and systems to allow for trading off between the accuracy of results and the utilization of resources in their implementation. In any particular context, there are typically a variety of heuristic approaches to managing these tra ..."

these tradeoffs. One of the objectives of this paper is to suggest that there is the potential for developing a more formal approach, including utilizing current research in Computer Science on Approximate Processing and one of its central concepts, Incremental Refinement. Toward this end, we first summarize a

Rough Sets.

by Zdzis Law Pawlak , George Allen , Unwin , ; W W London , New Norton , York - Int. J. of Information and Computer Sciences , 1982
"... Abstract. This article presents some general remarks on rough sets and their place in general picture of research on vagueness and uncertainty -concepts of utmost interest, for many years, for philosophers, mathematicians, logicians and recently also for computer scientists and engineers particular ..."
Abstract - Cited by 793 (13 self) - Add to MetaCart
particularly those working in such areas as AI, computational intelligence, intelligent systems, cognitive science, data mining and machine learning. Thus this article is intended to present some philosophical observations rather than to consider technical details or applications of rough set theory. Therefore

Assessing agreement on classification tasks: the kappa statistic

by Jean Carletta - Computational Linguistics , 1996
"... Currently, computational linguists and cognitive scientists working in the area of discourse and dialogue argue that their subjective judgments are reliable using several different statistics, none of which are easily interpretable or comparable to each other. Meanwhile, researchers in content analy ..."
Abstract - Cited by 846 (9 self) - Add to MetaCart
analysis have already experienced the same difficulties and come up with a solution in the kappa statistic. We discuss what is wrong with reliability measures as they are currently used for discourse and dialogue work in computational linguistics and cognitive science, and argue that we would be better off

Tangible bits: towards seamless interfaces between people, bits and atoms

by Hiroshi Ishii, Brygg Ullmer - Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems, ACM Press: 234--241 , 1997
"... This paper presents our vision of Human Computer Interaction (HCI): "Tangible Bits. " Tangible Bits allows users to "grasp & manipulate " bits in the center of users’ attention by coupling the bits with everyday physical objects and architectural surfaces. Tangible Bits also ..."
