Parallelization for geophysical waveform analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The use of parallel processors can be a very effective method for improving the running time of large or complex calculations. The Standard Template Adaptive Parallel Library (STAPL) is being developed by Dr. Lawrence ...
Using spheres to improve motion planning algorithms
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Motion planning algorithms aim to solve the problem of finding a collision-free path to move an object between start and goal positions in an environment. An environment consists of obstacles that the object must avoid. A ...
An implementation and analysis of a randomized distributed stack
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
This thesis presents an algorithm for a randomized distributed stack, a coded simulator for examining its behavior, and an analysis of data collected from simulations configured to investigate its performance in particular ...
Detection and removal of functional redundancy in multi-level logic circuits
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Whenever digital designs are created, they may contain many logic redundancies. Minimization tools are then used to remove these redundancies. The minimized circuit should be smaller, faster, and cheaper while still ...
The language data repository: machine readable storage for spoken language data
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The Language Data Repository project is working to develop a software architecture capable of storing the transcripts and recordings of spoken language data and capable of hosting software tools to aid in the analysis of ...
Creating a methodology and tool to capture and resolve conflicts in developing software requirements: Requirement Lifecycle Modeling Views manager (RLMV)
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Requirements management has been a traditionally overlooked aspect in designing software based systems. This lack of emphasis on managing requirements has lead to a large percent of projects either failing to meet all the ...
Real-time rendering of physically-based cloud simulations for university undergraduate research fellows
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Computers today employ simulations of physical phenomena such as wind and fire and other physical properties in many common applications, including programs meant for training and entertainment. We focus particularly on ...
Simulating plant motion with levels of detail
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Levels of detail are an effective means of reducing computational power in three-dimensional computer animations. Simpler models are used to represent objects farther away from the camera. Without this simplification, ...
Object oriented framework for character animation and design
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Three-dimensional computer character animation is becoming more and more prevalent in the entertainment industry. As the demand grows, so does the need for tools that allow animators to create animations quickly. In this ...
Feeling molecular forces: tactile feedback to enhance drug design
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Molecular modeling is a vital component for structure-based drug design. Currently implemented technology combines data and graphics to give the user visual capabilities to assist in discovering possible binding arrangements. ...
