Cultural consequences of computing technology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Computing technology is clearly a technical revolution, but will most probably bring about a cultural revolution\ud as well. The effects of this technology on human culture will be dramatic and far-reaching.

Fragment properties at the catastrophic disruption threshold: The effect of the parent body's internal structure

open access: yes, 2009
Numerical simulations of asteroid break-ups, including both the fragmentation of the parent body and the gravitational interactions between the fragments, have allowed us to reproduce successfully the main properties of asteroid families formed in ...

The effect of real workloads and stochastic workloads on the performance of allocation and scheduling algorithms in 2D mesh multicomputers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The performance of the existing non-contiguous processor allocation strategies has been traditionally carried out by means of simulation based on a stochastic workload model to generate a stream of incoming jobs.

Information scraps: how and why information eludes our personal information management tools [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this paper we describe information scraps -- a class of personal information whose content is scribbled on Post-it notes, scrawled on corners of random sheets of paper, buried inside the bodies of e-mail messages sent to ourselves, or typed ...

Inclusive distributions near kinematic thresholds. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The main challenge in computing inclusive cross sections and decay spectra in QCD is posed by kinematic thresholds. The threshold region is characterized by stringent phase–space constraints that are reflected in large perturbative corrections due to ...

Join Execution Using Fragmented Columnar Indices on GPU and MIC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The paper describes an approach to the parallel natural join execution on computing clusters with GPU and MIC Coprocessors. This approach is based on a decomposition of natural join relational operator using the column indices and domain-interval ...

The First Stellar Cluster

open access: yes, 2007
We report results from numerical simulations of star formation in the early universe that focus on gas at very high densities and very low metallicities.

Overlapped Embedded Fragment Stochastic Density Functional Theory for Covalently Bonded Materials

open access: yes, 2018
The stochastic density functional theory (DFT) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 106402 (2013)] is a valuable linear scaling approach to Kohn-Sham DFT that does not rely on the sparsity of the density matrix.

A Distributed Query Processing Engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are formed of tiny, highly energy-constrained sensor nodes that are equipped with wireless transceivers. They may be mobile and are usually deployed in large numbers in unfamiliar environments.

Towards FollowMe User Profiles for Macro Intelligent Environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We envision an Ambient Intelligent Environment as an environment with technology embedded within the framework of that environment to help enhance an users experience in that environment.
