Instruction fetch is an important pipeline stage for embedded processors, as it can consume a significant fraction of the total processor energy. This dissertation describes the design and implementation of two new fetch enhancements...
Researchers agree that protecting a stand-alone autonomous mobile agent with software-only approaches remains difficult. In this thesis, we produce several results that enhance mobile agent security and provide generalized code...
Quasi-Monte Carlo methods are a variant of ordinary Monte Carlo methods that employ highly uniform quasirandom numbers in place of Monte Carlo's pseudorandom numbers. Monte Carlo methods offer statistical error estimates; however, while...
Interaction design patterns provide best-practice solutions to software user interface design problems. Several interaction design pattern collections have been published, but none of them address the details of interaction for software...
This thesis presents and evaluates a particular algorithm used for the real time computations of time dependent ordinary and partial differential equations which employs a parallelization strategy over the temporal domain. We also...
Monte Carlo applications are widely perceived as computationally intensive but naturally parallel. Therefore, they can be effectively executed on the grid using the dynamic bag-of-work model. We improve the efficiency of the subtask...
Random number generators have been studied and used for decades, and various kinds of generators have been proposed and improved to fit different types of problems. Better generators fit the problem tightly and utilize the architecture...
With growing interest in devices that utilize the spin degree of freedom of the charge carriers, there is an extensive research effort into materials with high spin polarization. Two types of materials that have attracted particular...
Fuzzy relational calculi based on BK products of relations have representational and computational means for handling both concrete numerical representations of relations and symbolic manipulation of relations. BK calculus of relations...
A significant percentage of execution cycles are devoted to performing conditional transfers of control, which occur frequently, cause pipeline flushes when mis-predicted and can prevent other code improving transformations from being...
Parametric uncertainty analysis of surface complexation modeling (SCM) has been studied using linear and nonlinear analysis. A computational SCM model was developed by Kohler et al. (1996) to simulate the breakthrough of Uranium(VI) in a...
Clusters of Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) nodes with multi-core Chip Multiprocessors (CMP), also known as SMP-CMP clusters, are ubiquitous today. Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the de facto standard for developing message passing...
This work will examine enhancements to the library for scalable, parallel pseudorandom number generation (SPRNG). SPRNG uses parameterization to produce many streams of random numbers with emphasis on parallel Monte Carlo methods. We...
