Optimizations enabling transformations and code generation for th HP V class
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
It is generally accepted that state-of-the-art restructuring compiler systems can parallelize automatically only about 25% of existing Fortran codes. This thesis presents some code transformations that improve the power ...
Study of distributed Fair Scheduling in wireless local area networks
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A Fair Scheduling policy is required to support differentiated QoS requirements of contending flows in a wireless channel. This thesis presents a study of the Distributed Fair Scheduling (DFS) algorithm proposed for wireless ...
TDROP: A routing protocol for physically hierarchical ad hoc mobile networks
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Many protocols for routing in mobile ad hoc networks have been proposed. None of these protocols differentiates mobile nodes based on their physical characteristics and also there is only one proposal for connecting ad hoc ...
ProtEx: a toolkit for the analysis of distributed real-time systems
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Large-scale distributed real-time systems are increasingly difficult to analyze within the Rate Monotonic Analysis (RMA) framework. This is due partly to their heterogeneity, complex interaction between components, and the ...
Explicit congestion indication for TCP over wireless networks
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Transmission control protocol (TCP), the widely used transport protocol in the Internet, assumes that packet losses are because of congestion. Wireless networks have higher error rates than wired networks; TCP misinterprets ...
Semantic associative network for text analysis (SANTA)
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Based on theories of associations, the Semantic Associative Network for Text Analysis (SANTA) has been developed. Nodes in the network represent words and links between nodes represent the association strengths between ...
Fault-tolerant TCP mechanisms
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
While fault-tolerance is supported by a variety of critical services that can be accessed over the Internet, they are not robust in that they are oblivious of the impact of their tolerant mechanisms on the service they ...
The use of a simple cellular automata model as a testbed for kinetic theories of vehicular traffic flow
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The broad objective of this thesis is to explore the potential for the use of Cellular Automata (CA) models to provide a testbed for comparison of different kinetic models of vehicular traffic. We intend to develop a ...
A general performance model for parallel sweeps on orthogonal grids for particle transport calculations
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
There is a growing need to accurately simulate physical systems whose evolution depends on the transport of subatomic particles. It has long been recognized that the huge computational demands of the transport problem ...
Simulation-based comparison of TCP retransmission timeout estimators
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The implementation of the retransmission timeout estimator for TCP re-initializes the timer with the retransmit timeout (RTO) after receiving an acknowledgement (ACK), if any more segments are in flight. This allows an ...
