Parallelization of the QR Decomposition with Column Pivoting Using Column Cyclic Distribution on Multicore and GPU Processors
"... Abstract. The QR decomposition with column pivoting (QRP) of a matrix is widely used for numerical rank revealing in applications. The performance of LAPACK implementation (DGEQP3) of the Householder QRP algorithm is limited by Level 2 BLAS operations required for updating the column norms. In this ..."

. In this paper, we propose an implementation of the QRP algorithm using a distribution of the matrix columns in a round-robin fashion for better data locality and parallel memory bus utilization on multicore architectures. Our performance results show a 60 % improvement over the routine DGEQP3 of Intel MKL
TileBars: Visualization of Term Distribution Information in Full Text Information Access
, 1995
"... The field of information retrieval has traditionally focused on textbases consisting of titles and abstracts. As a consequence, many underlying assumptions must be altered for retrieval from full-length text collections. This paper argues for making use of text structure when retrieving from full te ..."

text documents, and presents a visualization paradigm, called TileBars, that demonstrates the usefulness of explicit term distribution information in Boolean-type queries. TileBars simultaneously and compactly indicate relative document length, query term frequency, and query term distribution
Variability of Absorption and Optical Properties of Key Aerosol Types Observed in Worldwide Locations
- JOURNAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES
, 2002
"... Aerosol radiative forcing is a critical, though variable and uncertain, component of the global climate. Yet climate models rely on sparse information of the aerosol optical properties. In situ measurements, though important in many respects, seldom provide measurements of the undisturbed aerosol in ..."

Here, 8 yr of worldwide distributed data from the AERONET network of ground-based radiometers were used to remotely sense the aerosol absorption and other optical properties in several key locations. Established procedures for maintaining and calibrating the global network
On the Nyström Method for Approximating a Gram Matrix for Improved Kernel-Based Learning
- JOURNAL OF MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH
, 2005
"... A problem for many kernel-based methods is that the amount of computation required to find the solution scales as O(n³), where n is the number of training examples. We develop and analyze an algorithm to compute an easily-interpretable low-rank approximation to an nn Gram matrix G such that compu ..."

and the corresponding c rows of G. An important aspect of the algorithm is the probability distribution used to randomly sample the columns; we will use a judiciously-chosen and data-dependent nonuniform probability distribution. Let F denote the spectral norm and the Frobenius norm, respectively, of a matrix
Coil sensitivity encoding for fast MRI. In:
- Proceedings of the ISMRM 6th Annual Meeting,
, 1998
"... New theoretical and practical concepts are presented for considerably enhancing the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by means of arrays of multiple receiver coils. Sensitivity encoding (SENSE) is based on the fact that receiver sensitivity generally has an encoding effect complementa ..."

complementary to Fourier preparation by linear field gradients. Thus, by using multiple receiver coils in parallel scan time in Fourier imaging can be considerably reduced. The problem of image reconstruction from sensitivity encoded data is formulated in a general fashion and solved for arbitrary coil
Financial flexibility and the choice between dividends and stock repurchases
- JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL ECONOMICS
, 2000
"... This paper measures the growth in open market stock repurchases and the manner in which stock repurchases and dividends are used by U.S. corporations. Stock repurchases and dividends are used at different times from one another, by different kinds of firms. Stock repurchases are very pro-cyclical, w ..."

Compilation Techniques for Block-Cyclic Distributions
, 1995
"... Compilers for data-parallel languages such as Fortran D and High-Performance Fortran use data alignment and distribution specifications as the basis for translating programs for execution on MIMD distributed-memory machines. This paper describes techniques for generating efficient code for programs ..."

We present algorithms for computing the data elements that need to be communicated among processors both for loops with unit and non
Research Article Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes of Column-Weight Two Using a Search Algorithm
"... This article introduces a search algorithm for constructing quasi-cyclic LDPC codes of column-weight two. To obtain a submatrix structure, rows are divided into groups of equal sizes. Rows in a group are connected in their numerical order to obtain a cyclic structure. Two rows forming a column must ..."
