PVM: A Framework for Parallel Distributed Computing
- Concurrency: Practice and Experience
, 1990
"... The PVM system is a programming environment for the development and execution of large concurrent or parallel applications that consist of many interacting, but relatively independent, components. It is intended to operate on a collection of heterogeneous computing elements interconnected by one or ..."

Transactional Memory: Architectural Support for Lock-Free Data Structures
"... A shared data structure is lock-free if its operations do not require mutual exclusion. If one process is interrupted in the middle of an operation, other processes will not be prevented from operating on that object. In highly concurrent systems, lock-free data structures avoid common problems asso ..."

"... Ethernet is a branching broadcast communication system for carrying digital data packets among locally distributed computing stations. The packet transport mechanism provided by Ethernet has been used to build systems which can be viewed as either local computer networks or loosely coupled multipr ..."

Gradient projection for sparse reconstruction: Application to compressed sensing and other inverse problems
- IEEE JOURNAL OF SELECTED TOPICS IN SIGNAL PROCESSING
, 2007
"... Many problems in signal processing and statistical inference involve finding sparse solutions to under-determined, or ill-conditioned, linear systems of equations. A standard approach consists in minimizing an objective function which includes a quadratic (squared ℓ2) error term combined with a spa ..."

Scheduler Activations: Effective Kernel Support for the User-Level Management of Parallelism
- ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
, 1992
"... Threads are the vehicle,for concurrency in many approaches to parallel programming. Threads separate the notion of a sequential execution stream from the other aspects of traditional UNIX-like processes, such as address spaces and I/O descriptors. The objective of this separation is to make the expr ..."

is essential to high-performance parallel computing. Next, we argue that the lack of system integration exhibited by user-level threads is a consequence of the lack of kernel support for user-level threads provided by contemporary multiprocessor operating systems; we thus argue that kernel threads or processes
Robust object recognition with cortex-like mechanisms
- IEEE Trans. Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
, 2007
"... Abstract—We introduce a new general framework for the recognition of complex visual scenes, which is motivated by biology: We describe a hierarchical system that closely follows the organization of visual cortex and builds an increasingly complex and invariant feature representation by alternating b ..."

Distributed object-based programming systems
- ACM Computing Surveys

Thread scheduling for multiprogrammed multiprocessors
- In Proceedings of the Tenth Annual ACM Symposium on Parallel Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA), Puerto Vallarta
, 1998
"... We present a user-level thread scheduler for shared-memory multiprocessors, and we analyze its performance under multiprogramming. We model multiprogramming with two scheduling levels: our scheduler runs at user-level and schedules threads onto a fixed collection of processes, while below, the opera ..."

, the operating system kernel schedules processes onto a fixed collection of processors. We consider the kernel to be an adversary, and our goal is to schedule threads onto processes such that we make efficient use of whatever processor resources are provided by the kernel. Our thread scheduler is a non
A finite-volume, incompressible Navier–Stokes model for studies of the ocean on parallel computers.
- J. Geophys. Res.,

A major objective of the study is to make this inversion, and hence nonhydrostatic ocean modeling, efficient on parallel computers. The pressure
