Scale and performance in a distributed file system

by John H. Howard, Michael L. Kazar, Sherri G. Menees, A. Nichols, M. Satyanarayanan, Robert N. Sidebotham, Michael J. West - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1988
"... The Andrew File System is a location-transparent distributed tile system that will eventually span more than 5000 workstations at Carnegie Mellon University. Large scale affects performance and complicates system operation. In this paper we present observations of a prototype implementation, motivat ..."

, motivate changes in the areas of cache validation, server process structure, name translation, and low-level storage representation, and quantitatively demonstrate Andrew’s ability to scale gracefully. We establish the importance of whole-file transfer and caching in Andrew by comparing its performance

LLVM: A compilation framework for lifelong program analysis & transformation

by Chris Lattner, Vikram Adve , 2004
"... ... a compiler framework designed to support transparent, lifelong program analysis and transformation for arbitrary programs, by providing high-level information to compiler transformations at compile-time, link-time, run-time, and in idle time between runs. LLVM defines a common, low-level code re ..."

Globus: A Metacomputing Infrastructure Toolkit

by Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman - International Journal of Supercomputer Applications , 1996
"... Emerging high-performance applications require the ability to exploit diverse, geographically distributed resources. These applications use high-speed networks to integrate supercomputers, large databases, archival storage devices, advanced visualization devices, and/or scientific instruments to for ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1929 (51 self) - Add to MetaCart
. In this article, we introduce Globus, a system that we are developing to address these challenges. The Globus system is intended to achieve a vertically integrated treatment of application, middleware, and network. A low-level toolkit provides basic mechanisms such as communication, authentication, network

Tree visualization with Tree-maps: A 2-d space-filling approach

by Ben Shneiderman - ACM Transactions on Graphics , 1991
"... this paper deals with a two-dimensional (2-d) space-filling approach in which each node is a rectangle whose area is proportional to some attribute such as node size. Research on relationships between 2-d images and their representation in tree structures has focussed on node and link representation ..."

representations of 2-d images. This work includes quad-trees (Samet, 1989) and their variants which are important in image processing. The goal of quad trees is to provide a tree representation for storage compression and efficient operations on bit-mapped images. XY-trees (Nagy & Seth, 1984) are a

Progressive Meshes

by Hugues Hoppe
"... Highly detailed geometric models are rapidly becoming commonplace in computer graphics. These models, often represented as complex triangle meshes, challenge rendering performance, transmission bandwidth, and storage capacities. This paper introduces the progressive mesh (PM) representation, a new s ..."

A tutorial on particle filters for online nonlinear/non-Gaussian Bayesian tracking

by M. Sanjeev Arulampalam, Simon Maskell, Neil Gordon - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SIGNAL PROCESSING , 2002
"... Increasingly, for many application areas, it is becoming important to include elements of nonlinearity and non-Gaussianity in order to model accurately the underlying dynamics of a physical system. Moreover, it is typically crucial to process data on-line as it arrives, both from the point of view o ..."

of storage costs as well as for rapid adaptation to changing signal characteristics. In this paper, we review both optimal and suboptimal Bayesian algorithms for nonlinear/non-Gaussian tracking problems, with a focus on particle filters. Particle filters are sequential Monte Carlo methods based on point mass

Shape modeling with front propagation: A level set approach

by Ravikanth Malladi, James A. Sethian, Baba C. Vemuri - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1995
"... Shape modeling is an important constituent of computer vision as well as computer graphics research. Shape models aid the tasks of object representation and recognition. This paper presents a new approach to shape modeling which retains some of the attractive features of existing methods and over- ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

Individuals' levels of activation decrease markedly as a function of familiarity with a given stimulus situation. However, after a period of rest, re-presentation of the same stimulus situation will once

Uniprocessor Garbage Collection Techniques

by Paul R. Wilson - SUBMITTED TO ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS

We survey basic garbage collection algorithms, and variations such as incremental and generational collection; we then discuss low-level implementation considerations and the relationships between storage management systems, languages, and compilers. Throughout, we attempt to present a uni ed view b ..."

Efficient Context-Sensitive Pointer Analysis for C Programs

by Robert P. Wilson, Monica S. Lam , 1995
"... This paper proposes an efficient technique for contextsensitive pointer analysis that is applicable to real C programs. For efficiency, we summarize the effects of procedures using partial transfer functions. A partial transfer function (PTF) describes the behavior of a procedure assuming that certa ..."
Abstract - Cited by 433 (7 self) - Add to MetaCart
context-sensitive results. Because many C programs use features such as type casts and pointer arithmetic to circumvent the high-level type system, our algorithm is based on a low-level representation of memory locations that safely handles all the features of C. We have implemented our algorithm
