A large number of mathematical models in engineering and physical sciences employ Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). The sheer number of operations required in numerically integrating PDEs in these applications has ...

Internet has changed our lives. It has made the true distributed computing paradigm a reality. It has opened up a lot of opportunities both in the research domain and in business domain. One can now think of developing ...

This thesis, presents a multiprocessor topology, the hierarchical network of hyper-cubes, which has a low diameter, low degree of connectivity and yet exhibits hypercube like versatile characteristics. The hierarchical ...

Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks or RAID is a popular method of improving the reliability and performance of disk storage. Of various levels of RAID, mirrored or RAID1 and rotating parity or RAID5 configurations have ...

Support Vector Machines (SVM) have recently gained prominence in the field of machine learning and pattern classification (Vapnik, 1995, Herbrich, 2002, Scholkopf and Smola, 2002). Classification is achieved by finding a ...

Darwinian Evolutionary system - a system satisfying the abstract conditions: reproduction with heritable variation, in a finite world, giving rise to Natural Selection encompasses a complex and subtle system of interrelated ...

Pattern recognition is an important area with potential applications in computer vision, Speech understanding, knowledge engineering, bio-medical data classification, earth sciences, life sciences, economics, psychology, ...

Performance monitoring counters are implemented in most recent microprocessors. In this thesis, we describe various performance measurement experiments for a program and a system that we conducted on a Linux operating ...

As the size and complexity of a software system increases, the design problem goes beyond the algorithms and data structures of the computation. Designing and specifying the overall system structure -- or software architecture ...

Code optimization or code transformation is a complex function of a compiler involving analyses and modifications with the entire program as its scope. In spite of its complexity, hardly any tools exist to support this ...
