Semantics of Program Representation Graphs
(University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 1989)
Program representation graphs are a recently introduced intermediate representation form for programs. In this paper, we develop a mathematical semantics for these graphs by interpreting them as data-flow graphs. We also ...
Weak Ordering - A New Definition and Some Implications
(University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 1989)
A model for correct program behavior commonly and often implicitly assumed by programmers is that of sequential consistency, which guarantees that all memory accesses execute atomically and in program order. An alternative ...
Using the ASP for the Interactive Viewing of Polyhedral Scenes
(University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 1989)
In this paper, we discuss an approach for solving the problem of interactively viewing a polyhedral scene. Interactive viewing is the computation and display of an interactively controlled sequence of views of a scene ...
Generalized Networks: Parallel Algorithms and an Empirical Analysis
(University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 1989)
The objective of this research was to develop and empirically test simplex ?based parallel algorithms for the generalized network optimization problem. Several parallel algorithms were developed that utilize the multitasking ...
Perceptual Development and Learning: From Behavioral, Neurophysiological, and Morphological Evidence to Computational Models
(University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 1989)
An intelligent system has to be capable of adapting to a constantly changing environment, It therefore, ought to be capable to learning from its perceptual interactions with its surroundings. This requires a certain ...
On the Convolution of a Box Spline with a Compactly Supported Distribution: Linear Independence for the Integer Translates
(University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 1989)
The problem of linear independence of the integer translates of ?????where ? ?is a compactly supported distribution and ? is an exponential box spline, is considered in this paper. The main result relates the linear ...
Parallelism and Concurrency Control Performance in Distributed Database Machines
(University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 1989)
While several distributed (or �shared nothing�) database machines exist in the form of prototypes or commercial products, and a number of distributed concurrency control algorithms are available, the effect of parallelism ...
Conflict Resolution of Rules Assigning Values to Virtual Attributes
(University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 1989)
In the majority of research work done on logic programming and deductive databases, it is assumed that the set of rules defined by the user is consistent, i.e., that no contradictory facts can be inferred by the rules. ...
Performance Enhancement Through Replication in an Object-Oriented DBMS
(University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 1989)
In this paper we describe how replicated data can be used to speed up query processing in an object-oriented database system. The general idea is to use replicated data to eliminate some of the functional joins that would ...
Detecting Data Races in Parallel Program Executions
(University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 1989)
Several methods currently exist for detecting data races in an execution of a shared-memory parallel program. Although these methods address an important aspect of parallel program debugging, they do not precisely define ...
