Monte Carlo (MC) linear solvers are fundamentally based on the ability to estimate a matrix-vector product, using a random sampling process. They use the fact that deterministic stationary iterative processes to solve linear systems can...
In this dissertation, we discuss the generation of low discrepancy sequences, randomization of these sequences, and the transformation methods to generate normally distributed random variables. Two well known methods for generating...
Using traditional methodologies and tools, the problem of keeping performance-critical kernels at high efficiency on hardware evolving at the incredible rates dictated by Moore's Law is almost intractable. On product lines where ISA...
The digital revolution, fired by the development of the information and communication technologies, has fundamentally changed the way we think, behave, communicate, work and earn livelihood (the World Summit on the Information Society)....
The most common approaches to analyzing algorithms are worst-case analysis, average-case analysis, and experimental analysis. In most cases, until recently, experimental analysis has not been given priority. The theoretical computer...
This dissertation is concerned with efficient compilation of our Java-based, high- performance, library-oriented, SPMD style, data parallel programming language: HPJava. It starts with some historical review of data-parallel languages...
We create a novel framework to enable the exploration of spatial calcium dynamics in astrocytes via compartmentalization of the cell domain. The cell is split up into spatially partitioned compartments representing sub-cellular domains...
The Prisoners' Problem can be stated as follows: Two prisoners, Alice and Bob, want to communicate a secret escape plan under the surveillance of a warden, Wendy. To be indiscernible, the communication must appear to Wendy to be `...
There are a wide variety of clustering and optimization algorithms which work in vector spaces, but relatively fewer that work on graphs. An algorithm to embed road network metrics into vector spaces is presented in this document, which...
The objective of my doctoral dissertation research is to formulate, implement, and validate metrics and techniques towards perceiving some of the influences on software development, predicting the impact of user initiated changes on a...
Since the number of digital images is growing explosively, content based image retrieval becomes an active research area to automatically index and retrieve images based on their semantic features and visual appearance. Content based...
For decades, augmented reality has been used to allow a person to visualize an overlay of annotations, videos, and images on physical objects using a camera. Due to the high computational processing cost that is required to match an...
