A Block Preconditioner for an Exact Penalty Formulation for Stationary MHD
(2014-02-04)
The magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations are used to model the flow of electrically conducting fluids in such applications as liquid metals and plasmas. This system of non-self adjoint, nonlinear PDEs couples the Navier-Stokes ...
Symbiotic Cache Resizing for CMPs with Shared LLC
(2013-09-11)
This paper investigates the problem of finding the optimal sizes of private caches and a shared LLC in CMPs. Resizing private and shared caches in modern CMPs is one way to squeeze wasteful power consumption out of ...
MIDCA: A Metacognitive, Integrated Dual-Cycle Architecture for Self-Regulated Autonomy
(2013-09-23)
This report documents research performed under ONR grant N000141210172 for the period 1 June 2012 through 31 May 2013. The goals of this research are to provide a sound theoretical understanding of the role of metacognition ...
A Method to Compute Periodic Sums
(2013-10-09)
In a number of problems in computational physics, a finite sum of kernel functions centered at N particle locations located in a box in three dimensions must be extended by imposing periodic boundary conditions on box ...
Efficient Iterative Algorithms for Linear Stability Analysis of Incompressible Flows
(2013-11-07)
Linear stability analysis of a dynamical system entails finding the rightmost eigenvalue for a series of eigenvalue problems. For large-scale systems, it is known that conventional iterative eigenvalue solvers are not ...
An Effective Approach to Temporally Anchored Information Retrieval
(2012-08-17)
We consider in this paper the information retrieval problem over a
collection of time-evolving documents such that the search has to be
carried out based on a query text and a temporal specification. A
solution to this ...
The compiler for the XMTC parallel language: Lessons for compiler developers and in-depth description
(2011-02-18)
In this technical report, we present information on the XMTC compiler
and language. We start by presenting the XMTC Memory Model and the
issues we encountered when using GCC, the popular GNU compiler for C and
other ...
Hierarchical O(N) Computation of Small-Angle Scattering Profiles and their Associated Derivatives
(2013-05-25)
Fast algorithms for Debye summation, which arises in computations performed in crystallography, small/wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), were recently presented in Gumerov ...
Reduced Basis Collocation Methods for Partial Differential Equations with Random Coefficients
(2012-06-18)
The sparse grid stochastic collocation method is a new method for
solving partial differential equations with random coefficients.
However, when the probability space has high dimensionality, the number
of points required ...
Taming Social Tags: Computational Linguistic Analysis of Tags for Images in Museums
(2011-05-13)
This paper reports on the linguistic analysis of a tag set of nearly
50,000 tags collected as part of the steve.museum project. The tags
describe images of objects in museum collections. We present our results
on ...
